Kipp:delta College Prep School

Summary:

Kipp:delta College Prep School is a public charter middle school located in Helena, Arkansas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 182 students. The school is part of the KIPP Delta Public Schools district, which is ranked 230 out of 252 school districts in Arkansas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being a part of the KIPP network, Kipp:delta College Prep School has consistently underperformed the state average in proficiency rates across all subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 19.6% to 39.6% across different grade levels and subjects, compared to the state averages of 32.1% to 37.8%. The school's performance is also lower than the KIPP Delta Public Schools district average in most subject areas. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 118th out of 280 middle schools in 2013-2014 to 222nd out of 335 middle schools in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars out of 5 to only 2 stars out of 5 during the same period.

The school's 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate indicates that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the academic performance issues. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, which has fluctuated between 11.5 and 14.7 over the past three school years, could be a potential strength that could be leveraged to provide more personalized and targeted instruction to students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
