Summary:
The 72342 zip code area is home to 3 public charter schools operated by the KIPP Delta Public Schools district, serving students from elementary through high school. While the middle school, Kipp:delta College Prep School, stands out as the strongest performer with higher proficiency rates and rankings, the elementary and high schools in this area lag behind in academic achievement compared to state averages.
The data reveals significant performance gaps across the KIPP Delta schools, with proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science falling well below state levels, particularly at the elementary school, KIPP Delta Elementary Literacy Academy. Additionally, there are inconsistencies in performance even within the same schools, such as the Kipp:delta Collegiate High School having much lower proficiency in Math compared to English Language Arts.
All 3 schools serve a high-poverty student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This likely contributes to the overall lower academic performance, and the varying per-student spending levels across the schools may indicate resource allocation challenges within the district that could impact the schools' ability to provide equitable educational opportunities.
