Summary:
The KIPP Ignite Academy District in Los Angeles, California, consists of a single elementary school, KIPP Ignite Academy, which serves grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 413 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 1-2% of California elementary schools over the past three school years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a persistent struggle to provide quality education to its students.
KIPP Ignite Academy faces significant challenges, including a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 64.1% for the 2022-2023 school year, which is more than double the state average. The school's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are also significantly lower than the state averages, with gaps ranging from 26 to 38 percentage points. This suggests that students at KIPP Ignite Academy are not meeting grade-level standards at the same rate as their peers across California.
The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 95.64% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's challenges in improving student outcomes. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help KIPP Ignite Academy improve its educational outcomes and provide a better learning environment for its students.
