Summary:
KIPP Indy Unite Elementary is the sole elementary school located in the KIPP Indy district, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 695 students. This public charter school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged.
Despite higher-than-average spending per student, KIPP Indy Unite Elementary has struggled to improve student outcomes. The school has ranked in the bottom 10% of Indiana elementary schools for the past three years, with only 11.04% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 21.07% proficient or better in Math. This is significantly below the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 40.6% is also a major concern, as it can have a significant impact on student learning and academic achievement.
The high percentage of students (93.67%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at KIPP Indy Unite Elementary suggests that the school serves a population facing significant economic challenges. This, combined with the school's low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, highlights the need for targeted support and resources to address the unique needs of the student population and improve educational outcomes within the KIPP Indy district.
