KIPP DC - Northeast Academy PCS

Summary:

KIPP DC - Northeast Academy PCS is a public charter middle school in Washington, DC, serving around 350 students in grades 5-8, with a predominantly African American student population.

The school has faced significant challenges in recent years, consistently underperforming the District of Columbia in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 11.5% to 25.3%, compared to the District's rates of 33.9% to 38.1%. Similarly, in Mathematics, KIPP DC - Northeast Academy PCS's proficiency rates ranged from 5% to 10.7%, compared to the District's rates of 26.4% to 22.4%. When compared to nearby high-performing charter schools like Friendship PCS - Woodridge International Middle and Two Rivers PCS - Young Middle School, KIPP DC - Northeast Academy PCS generally performs worse in both ELA and Mathematics.

The school's declining performance and ranking over the years is also concerning, with the school dropping from a rank of 15 out of 56 DC middle schools and a 4-star rating in 2016-2017 to a rank of 58 out of 70 and a 1-star rating in 2023-2024. This is significantly lower than the rankings and ratings of nearby high-performing charter schools. Additionally, the school has shown mixed performance when analyzing specific student subgroups, with lower rankings for special education students and low socioeconomic status students, indicating potential equity challenges that need to be addressed.

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.
