KIPP Scholar Academy District

The KIPP Scholar Academy District in Los Angeles, California consists of a single middle school, KIPP Scholar Academy. Based on the available data, KIPP Scholar Academy does not appear to be a standout performer compared to other middle schools in the state, with fluctuating statewide rankings and an overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently lower than the statewide averages for California. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 35.74% compared to the state's 47.04%, and in Math, it was 26.28% compared to the state's 35.54%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 44.4%, which is quite concerning.

While the school faces socioeconomic challenges, with 94.48% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the data suggests that KIPP Scholar Academy may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and overall school quality. The declining statewide rankings over the past few years indicate that the school's performance may be worsening compared to other middle schools in California, and addressing these issues should be a priority for the district and school leadership.
