KIPP Bridge Academy District

The KIPP Bridge Academy District in Oakland, California, consists of a single elementary school, KIPP Bridge Academy, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 509 students.

KIPP Bridge Academy does not appear to be a standout school in the district or the state, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom 30% of California elementary schools over the past three years. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the Smarter Balanced Assessments and the California Science Test (CAST), is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 28.89% to 53.57% in English Language Arts/Literacy and 8.7% to 37.78% in Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 48.1%.

The data suggests that KIPP Bridge Academy faces significant challenges in academic achievement and student engagement. With a large majority (90.96%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 22.1 to 1, the school may need to focus on targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and increased support for students and families to improve its performance and better serve the needs of its high-needs population.
