Elementary Schools in KIPP Dc Pcs

The KIPP DC Public Charter Schools (KIPP DC PCS) district in Washington, D.C. operates 11 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten/kindergarten through 4th grade. These schools are located across various neighborhoods in the city and have student populations ranging from 162 to 610 students.

Among the KIPP DC PCS elementary schools, KIPP DC - Promise Academy PCS stands out as the largest with 610 students and the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and the overall District of Columbia. Another notable school is KIPP DC - Inspire Academy PCS, which has shown significant improvement in its SchoolDigger ranking, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating. This school also has the highest Mathematics proficiency rates for 3rd grade among the KIPP DC PCS schools.

However, the majority of KIPP DC PCS elementary schools have consistently low performance, with most schools ranked in the bottom half of District of Columbia elementary schools and receiving 1 or 2 stars from SchoolDigger. This suggests a need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the low performance and potential areas for improvement. Additionally, the student populations across the KIPP DC PCS schools are overwhelmingly African American, with very low representation of other racial/ethnic groups, raising questions about the diversity and inclusiveness of the school system.
