Kingsland School, Kingsland TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Kingsland School

Kingsland School is a small charter serving kindergarten through twelfth grade in Llano County, operated under the Orenda Charter School umbrella. The student body numbers in the low hundreds, with a racial composition that leans white, with substantial Hispanic representation and smaller Black and multiracial shares. The school spans a wide grade band, from early childhood through high school completion, all in a single location on Ranch Road 1431.

The 2024-25 state assessment results show a profile with uneven strengths and clear soft spots. In English language arts across the tested grades, performance climbs steadily from third grade into middle school. Third and fourth grade show low proficiency, but by sixth grade, where proficiency is high, the results improve markedly. Seventh and eighth grades hold strong proficiency across the board. Mathematics tells a different story. Third grade showed no proficiency at all, and fourth grade proficiency was minimal. The curve improves gradually through fifth and sixth grades, then reaches about half proficiency at seventh and eighth grades. Science proficiency is moderate at fifth grade but stronger in eighth. Social studies proficiency in eighth grade sits at just under half. Overall proficiency across all tested grades and subjects lands at about halfway to mastery thresholds, with the "approaches standard" measure substantially higher, meaning many students are in the middle bands rather than fully meeting or mastering standards.

The disparity between early elementary and middle grades is notable. A parent may want to look into further with the school what supports exist for younger learners in math and reading, and whether the improvement trajectory reflects instructional changes, student maturation, or both. Trend data for prior years was not available, so this snapshot stands alone without context about whether results are rising, falling, or stable.

The school does not report free-or-reduced-price lunch data, special education enrollment counts, or English learner counts, so information about whether the student body includes substantial populations with greater academic need is not available from the state data. Participation rates on state tests were also missing from the data.

The school offers K-12 instruction under one roof, which simplifies logistics for families with multiple children in different grades but means no separate elementary or secondary facility. Enrollment is stable across most grade levels. High school grades nine through twelve show smaller cohorts, with just single-digit enrollment in grade twelve, which is typical of small schools but worth noting if a family is considering the high school pathway; few peers may mean a tighter-knit but more limited social environment at the secondary level.

Housing in the Kingsland area is moderately valued relative to the state baseline and sits slightly below state median, with recent year-over-year home values declining modestly. Mortgage rates remain elevated. These conditions reflect a rural Hill Country setting rather than a growth corridor, though the parent district brief notes significant expansion activity at the flagship Orenda campus in Georgetown, a neighboring community. Kingsland School itself does not appear to be part of that growth push.

The school's charter status means it operates with autonomy from traditional school district governance, which can mean flexibility in curriculum and scheduling but also responsibility for its own enrollment and operational viability. No data on staffing, courses offered beyond state-tested subjects, or specific support services was provided, so a prospective parent would benefit from visiting the school website or contacting the school directly to learn about offerings like special education, English learner services, arts, athletics, and electives.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
