KIPP Northeast Elementary

Summary:

KIPP Northeast Elementary is a public charter elementary school serving 499 students in grades PK-4 in Denver, Colorado, which is part of the School District No. 1.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, KIPP Northeast Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 19.5% of KIPP Northeast students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.7% for the district and 44.1% for the state. In Math, the school's proficiency rate was 16.2%, while the district and state had 31.2% and 34.2%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has also seen a significant decline, dropping from the 476th out of 965 Colorado elementary schools in 2018-2019 to the 835th out of 943 schools in 2023-2024.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Lena Archuleta Elementary, which is just 1.61 miles away, KIPP Northeast Elementary is clearly underperforming. Additionally, the school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Colorado elementary schools for both female and male students, and in the bottom 25% for Hispanic students and English Language Learners. With 79.16% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, KIPP Northeast Elementary faces significant challenges in serving its predominantly low-socioeconomic student population.

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.
