This small regular public school employs 11 full-time equivalent teachers, ensuring personalized attention that larger institutions simply cannot match. With a MySchoolScout rating of 8.5 out of 10, King's Academy stands out despite ranking #705 out of 884 schools statewide, placing it in the 20th percentile.
This contrast suggests the school excels in areas beyond traditional state metrics, likely benefiting from its exceptionally small class sizes and individualized approach to education.

About 25% of neighborhood residents hold bachelor's degrees or higher, while the poverty rate remains at 15.1% among the area's 75,004 residents.

What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 54 students, King's 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 4.8:1, King's 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, King's 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.
