Middle Schools in KIPP Minnesota Charter School


Summary:

The KIPP Minnesota Charter School district contains a single middle school, KIPP North Star Academy, which serves a predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student population. Despite the school's diverse demographics, its academic performance is extremely low compared to state averages, with proficiency rates on state assessments well below 10% in core subjects.

KIPP North Star Academy stands out for its high percentage of minority students, with 88.66% African American and 8.76% Hispanic enrollment, significantly higher than Minnesota state averages. However, the school's performance on MCA-III assessments is concerning, with only 4.9% of students proficient or better in Math across all grades, compared to 45.47% statewide. The school has also been consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Minnesota middle schools by SchoolDigger, receiving a 0 out of 5 star rating.

The data suggests that KIPP North Star Academy faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. With 94.33% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school may be grappling with resource constraints and the impact of socioeconomic factors on student learning. Addressing the substantial achievement gaps at this school should be a top priority for the KIPP Minnesota Charter School district, as they work to improve outcomes for this underserved student population.
