How U.S. News calculated the rankings:

For each state, schools were assessed on their pupils’ proficiencies in mathematics and reading, as measured by state assessment tests. Half of the ranking formula was the results themselves; the other half was the results in the context of socioeconomic demographics. In other words, the top-ranked schools are high achieving ones that succeeded in educating all of their students. U.S. News published distinct elementary and middle school rankings calculated at the state and district levels, as well as state rankings specific to charter and magnet schools. All data for the rankings are from third-party sources, including the U.S. Department of Education. U.S. News has published numerical rankings for more than 37,000 public elementary schools and more than 18,000 public middle schools. Most schools with an elementary school ranking offer grades K-5 or K-6, while most with a middle school ranking offer grades 6-8 or 7-8. Some schools with wider grade spans were ranked in both categories.

U.S. News has published an in-depth methodology article that provides more information about the rankings and how they were calculated. For questions or feedback about the Best Elementary Schools or Best Middle Schools rankings or badge eligibility, please contact SchoolRankings@usnews.com.

Our 2023 Holiday Fair will be held on THURSDAY DECEMBER 7 and FRIDAY DECEMBER 8 this year. For those who are new to Kilgour or new to the Holiday Fair, the event is a two-day shopping extravaganza, held in our Kilgour Gym. Our children will visit the shop for a scheduled 20-30 minute time period on one of the two days above; if they've brought money with them to school that day, they are invited to shop for their family members, friends, and pets.

We need LOTS of volunteers for these days: please consider signing up for a shift.
