I stayed two years and went back to kingston with my girls.Its two expensive for what you get,below average teachers,no sports programs and a dated school campus.They told me I would have to pay extra for help with Math after the high cost to attend-When they stay after for a subject at public school because its the right thing to do.I know they are suffering money wise and the number of students just keeps dropping.

The PTO at KES and KIS needs leadership and organization. There is not a large population of parents involved in PTO considering the number of households in the schools. The administration has changed a bit in recent years but is currently stable, serious (but kid-friendly) and committed to excellence. There are some great teachers and some not-so-great ones. The ability to detect deficiencies in learning has been terrific; title one reading program has truly helped my children.

I have been extremely happy with my experience at Kingston Elementary. The teachers are kind and caring. They believe that a child's education is not just academic but emotional as well. One of the things I most like about KES is the emphasis that is placed on empathy, respect and tolerance of all. The PTO and parents work together to make KES a school we can all be proud of, Thank you.

Kingston Elementary is an incedible school. This school has oustanding teachers who are very supportive and caring. The PTO does an excellent job providing enrichment programs for the children. The parent involvement is more like family involvement including: siblings, Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents. We have great community support! I would also like to mention one of the best teachers I have ever met, Miss Sullivan in grade 2. Thank you Miss Sullivan and Kingston Elementary for supporting my children.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
