Summary:
KIPP Academy Boston Charter School is the sole elementary school located within the KIPP Academy Boston Charter School (District) in Mattapan, Massachusetts. Serving grades K-8, the school has a total enrollment of 577 students and is consistently ranked among the lower-performing elementary schools in the state.
Academically, KIPP Academy Boston Charter School struggles, with proficiency rates significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's overall ELA proficiency rate was just 19.89% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 39.17%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 24%, while the state average was 40.91%. This pattern of underperformance has persisted over the past two school years, with the school's ranking fluctuating between 814 and 858 out of over 900 Massachusetts elementary schools.
Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $18,557 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1, the school's resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for its predominantly African American (59.27%) and Hispanic (36.92%) student population. This raises concerns about the effective allocation and utilization of resources, as well as the need to address educational equity and ensure all students have access to high-quality education, regardless of their background.
