About Kings Academy

This regular public school employs 5 full-time equivalent teachers, allowing for highly personalized attention that few schools can match. With a MySchoolScout rating of 9.0 out of 10 and ranking at the 53rd percentile among California schools (#836 out of 1790), Kings Academy demonstrates solid academic standing.

The small enrollment creates a close-knit school community where students across all grade levels can form meaningful relationships with both peers and faculty members. The school's unique structure, spanning elementary through high school, offers continuity for families seeking a single educational home for their children's entire K-12 journey. The remarkably low student-teacher ratio suggests students receive individualized support and instruction tailored to their specific needs and learning styles.

Kings Academy is situated in the 92027 ZIP code area, where the median household income reaches $80,260 and median home values are $609,400. The surrounding community of 55,750 residents includes 22% with bachelor's degrees or higher, with an 11.1% poverty rate.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 47 students, Kings Academy is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 9.4:1, Kings Academy offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

As a private school, Kings Academy operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
