KIPP Northeast Denver Middle School

Summary:

KIPP Northeast Denver Middle School is a public charter middle school serving 463 students in grades 5-8 in Denver, Colorado, which is part of the School District No. 1.

Despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio and serving a high percentage of students from low-income families, KIPP Northeast Denver Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on academic assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 28.1% in English Language Arts, 15.1% in Math, and 16.8% in 5th grade Science, significantly lower than the district's 40.7%, 31.2%, and 32.7%, respectively, and the state's 44.1%, 34.2%, and 37.9%. The school has also consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Colorado middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's African American and Hispanic students perform better than the state averages for their respective groups, they still lag behind the district and state averages. The school's proximity to several higher-performing schools, such as Denver Green School Northfield and DSST: Green Valley Ranch Middle School, highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of KIPP Northeast Denver Middle School's diverse student population and improve its 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.
