Original Research by School Decision on Kingman Online Learning Academy (kola) Elementary School
Kingman Online Learning Academy (KOLA) Elementary School serves kindergarten through fifth grade as an online public school within the Kingman Unified School District. It is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet, and its entire program is delivered remotely. The school is based at an address on MacDonald Avenue in Kingman, a city that functions as a regional trade, service, and distribution center in northwestern Arizona, anchored by its location at the intersection of Interstate 40 and U.S. Route 93. Kingman has a historic downtown along the Route 66 corridor, and its broader built environment is auto-dependent highway-commercial and suburban development. The top employers are Kingman Regional Medical Center, Mohave County, the school district itself, and the community college, along with light manufacturing and distribution at the Kingman Airport Industrial Park.
The enrollment at KOLA Elementary is extremely small, holding at zero reported students in each of its served grades. The racial and ethnic breakdown similarly reports zero across every category. This pattern is unusual and a parent will want to ask the school directly about its current enrollment and program status. Because the school is an online academy, it serves students who live in the district but choose a remote learning setting for elementary grades; it is not a comprehensive neighborhood school with a walkable attendance zone.
State testing data for the 2022-23 school year is sparse. In third grade math and English language arts, the school posted a proficiency rate placing its performance above the midpoint among tested schools in Mohave County. That single reported figure was based on a small tested cohort, the exact count of which was suppressed. In all other tested subjects and grades — fourth grade math, fourth grade ELA, fifth grade math, fifth grade ELA, and fifth grade science — results were suppressed entirely. No graduation rate is available because the school does not serve high school grades, and no chronic absenteeism data was reported.
There is no information on the number of students with disabilities or English learners, nor any data on free or reduced-price meal eligibility, staffing, discipline, or program offerings. The state did not report on these civil rights or program access dimensions for this school, so a parent considering this option should follow up with the school office about student support services and the breadth of the online curriculum.
The Kingman Unified School District did not appear in any publicly reported recent developments or strategic changes, so no district-level disruption or reform context is available to inform a family’s decision. KOLA Elementary is a niche, fully remote school within a larger unified district that operates traditional brick-and-mortar elementary campuses elsewhere in the city. It is a fit for families who already know they want an online elementary experience and who live within the district boundaries, but the absence of reported enrollment data and the suppression of almost all test results mean that the ordinary public-facing measures of school performance are largely invisible here. A parent should treat this as a school to investigate closely rather than one whose profile is established by available metrics.
