KIPP Indy Legacy High

Summary:

KIPP Indy Legacy High is a public charter high school in Indianapolis, Indiana that serves 377 students in grades 9-12, with a predominantly African American student body.

Despite being a charter school, KIPP Indy Legacy High is underperforming compared to other schools in the area. Only 10.94% of 11th graders were proficient or better in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and just 1.56% were proficient or better in SAT Mathematics - significantly lower than the state averages and the performance of nearby schools like Herron High School and BELIEVE Circle City High School.

KIPP Indy Legacy High serves a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at 91.78%, much higher than the rates of nearby schools like Shortridge High School (70.25%) and Herron High School (43.62%). This suggests the school may need to re-evaluate its approach and allocation of resources to better support its students' academic and social-emotional needs.

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.
