The school is part of the KIPP Delta Public Schools district, which is ranked 230 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kipp:delta Collegiate High School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Arkansas high schools, with proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, and Algebra around 12-17%, significantly below the state averages of 31.7-34.1%. Compared to nearby schools like Marvell-Elaine High School, Barton High School, and Central High School, Kipp:delta Collegiate High School generally performs worse on academic measures. Despite having a higher per-student spending and a very low student-to-teacher ratio, the school's persistent low performance suggests it may be facing significant challenges in effectively educating its students.

The nearby schools, while also serving economically disadvantaged communities with 100% free and reduced-price lunch rates, outperform Kipp:delta Collegiate High School on academic measures. This raises questions about the specific factors contributing to the school's underperformance, such as curriculum, instructional practices, or school leadership, which may be different from the nearby schools. The higher per-student spending and low student-to-teacher ratio at Kipp:delta Collegiate High School also suggest that the school may have access to more resources, but the persistent low academic performance raises concerns about the effective allocation and utilization of these resources to support student learning and achievement.

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.
