KIPP Denver Collegiate High School

Summary:

KIPP Denver Collegiate High School is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Denver, Colorado, with a predominantly Hispanic student population of 477. However, the school has faced significant challenges, consistently underperforming compared to district and state averages on standardized tests and ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in Colorado.

KIPP Denver Collegiate High School's academic performance is a major concern, with only 7.1% of 11th graders proficient or better in CMAS Science, compared to 17.8% for the district and 24.8% for the state. Similar gaps are seen in reading/writing and math proficiency. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, placing between 219-299 out of 349 Colorado high schools in recent years and receiving 0-1 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance. The school struggles to support certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Gifted and Talented students, who rank among the lowest in the state.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the same district, such as DSST: Cedar High School and Denver Center for International Studies, significantly outperform KIPP Denver Collegiate High School on academic measures, with DSST: Cedar High School ranking 52 out of 349 schools statewide and having much higher proficiency rates. This suggests that KIPP Denver Collegiate High School may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and support systems to better meet the needs of its diverse student population and improve its overall academic performance.

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.
