KIPP Academy Chicago Campus

Summary:

KIPP Academy Chicago Campus is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in the West Side neighborhood of Chicago, with 606 students enrolled. Despite being part of the renowned KIPP network of charter schools, this campus has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Illinois elementary schools over the past several years and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

KIPP Academy Chicago Campus faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.7% in 2020-2021 to 51.2% in 2021-2022, which are much higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school's students perform well below their peers in the Chicago Public Schools District 299, with only 17% proficient or better in ELA and just 6% proficient in math, compared to 30.5% and 18.3% in the district, respectively, and 41.2% and 28.4% statewide. The school also struggles to effectively serve its subgroups, ranking in the bottom 50% of Illinois elementary schools for female, male, special education, low-income, and disabled students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Spencer Technology Academy Elementary School, Moving Everest Charter School, and Hay Elementary School, also perform poorly and have similar challenges to KIPP Academy, suggesting that the issues may be systemic in the area. Despite spending significantly more per student ($19,752 in 2022-2023) than the district average, KIPP Academy has failed to translate this additional funding into improved educational outcomes for its students.

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.
