District-Level NCES Analysis
Kingston K-14 operates 4 public schools serving 833 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 combined, 1 elementary, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Washington County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,481 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 552 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 31.0% local, 48.0% state, and 21.0% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 65/100, ranked #96 of 433 in Missouri against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 308.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 13.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 97.1% White, 1.2% Hispanic or Latino, 1.2% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Kingston Primary, with a diversity index of 7.6/100.
Its largest campus is Kingston High, enrolling 259 students (31% of the district's total enrollment).
Kingston High accounts for 31.1% of all Kingston K-14 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Kingston K-14-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Kingston K-14 student-counselor ratio is 309:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Kingston K-14 is typically wider than the Kingston K-14-aggregate figure suggests.
Kingston K-14 chronic absenteeism rate is 13.3% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
