KIPP One Academy

Summary:

KIPP One Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 985 students in grades K-8 in the West Garfield Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. While the school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 688 out of 813 districts in Illinois, KIPP One Academy has shown some promising signs of improvement.

One key metric that sets KIPP One Academy apart is its significant decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 30.6% in 2021-2022 to just 15.6% in 2023-2024, outperforming the district average of 30.5%. Additionally, the school's test scores, while still below state and district averages, show some areas of strength, with 33.7% of 8th graders proficient or better in ELA and 22.9% in math, both higher than the district's performance. KIPP One Academy's African American and Hispanic students also outperform their peers in the district on ELA and math assessments.

While KIPP One Academy generally outperforms nearby traditional public schools like Tilton Elementary, Nobel Elementary, and Cameron Elementary, it lags behind higher-performing schools like West Park Elementary Academy and Casals Elementary. Additionally, the school struggles to serve its special education and disabled student populations, ranking in the bottom 10% of Illinois elementary schools in these subgroups. Addressing chronic absenteeism and improving support for these students should be areas of focus for KIPP One Academy as it continues to work towards better student outcomes.

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.
