Kingston Hill Academy

Located at 850 Stony Fort Road in Saunderstown, Rhode Island, Kingston Hill Academy operates as an open, independent public charter district nestled in a serene rural fringe setting within the broader Providence-Warwick metropolitan region. Functioning through a single operational school site, the district provides a dedicated elementary education tailored specifically to early and primary learners from kindergarten through fifth grade. For local families and educational researchers alike, the academy represents a distinct public choice model, offering tailored early-childhood and elementary academic programs supported by federal and state public education frameworks.

According to National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) data for the 2024–2025 academic year, Kingston Hill Academy serves a close-knit student body of 260 children, maintaining balanced enrollment across all grade levels, from 45 kindergarteners to 34 fifth-graders. The student body includes 134 male and 126 female students, representing a diverse mix of backgrounds, including White, Hispanic, multiracial, Asian, Black, American Indian, and Pacific Islander learners. The district stands out for its exceptional staffing investment, employing a total full-time equivalent workforce of 94 personnel—including 42 full-time equivalent teachers, 4 instructional aides, and 48 support staff members. This robust staffing structure yields a remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio of approximately six to one, ensuring an unusually high degree of individualized instructional focus, classroom support, and holistic care for every student.
