KIPP Vision Primary Charter School

Summary:

KIPP Vision Primary Charter School is an elementary public charter school in Atlanta, Georgia, serving students from kindergarten to 4th grade. Despite being part of the Atlanta Public Schools district, which is ranked 149 out of 203 districts in Georgia, KIPP Vision Primary Charter School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as it consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics on the Milestones Assessment. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 31.3% for 3rd grade ELA and 16.3% for 4th grade ELA, compared to the district's 36.2% and 34.5%, and the state's 38.4% and 37%, respectively. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were 32.3% for 3rd grade and 7.1% for 4th grade, compared to the district's 38% and 39%, and the state's 45.4% and 48.1%, respectively. The school's performance has declined over the years, with proficiency rates dropping from the 2018-2019 school year to the 2022-2023 school year.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Atlanta Public Schools district, such as Emma Hutchinson Elementary, T.J. Perkerson Elementary, and Cleveland Avenue Elementary, also perform poorly on the Milestones Assessment, with proficiency rates generally below the district and state averages. However, these nearby schools have slightly higher proficiency rates compared to KIPP Vision Primary Charter School, suggesting that the charter school may be underperforming even within the low-performing district. Additionally, a nearby charter school, Ethos Classical Charter School, outperforms KIPP Vision Primary Charter School in both ELA and Mathematics on the Milestones Assessment.

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.
