Summary:
The KIPP Ignite Academy District contains a single elementary school, KIPP Ignite Academy, which serves students in grades K-5. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of California elementary schools over the past three years, indicating significant room for improvement in its academic performance and overall quality.
KIPP Ignite Academy faces several key challenges. The school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 64.1%, well above the state average. Its proficiency rates on standardized tests in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are also well below state averages, ranging from 7.79% to 18.18% proficient or better, compared to state averages of 35.54% to 47.04%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (95.64%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high-need student population.
The combination of poor academic performance, high student needs, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 29.5 to 1 suggests that KIPP Ignite Academy faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Significant improvements in areas such as attendance, academic achievement, and resource allocation may be necessary to help the school better support its students and improve its overall standing.
