Summary:

KIPP San Francisco Bay Academy is a public charter middle school serving grades 5-8 in San Francisco, CA, with 278 students. While part of the KIPP San Francisco Bay Academy District, which is ranked 758 out of 1,568 districts in California, the school itself faces significant challenges in terms of student attendance, academic achievement, and performance gaps across different student subgroups.

KIPP San Francisco Bay Academy has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.0%, significantly higher than the state average. Its test scores are generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 33.86% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 27.56% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and English Language Learner students performing relatively well, but African American and Special Education students performing much worse, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of California middle schools.

When compared to nearby public middle schools in the San Francisco Unified School District, such as Giannini (A.P.) Middle, Roosevelt Middle, and Marina Middle, KIPP San Francisco Bay Academy generally underperforms, with significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, the school's performance has been relatively stagnant over the past few years, and it has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its challenges in improving student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
