Summary:
The KIPP: Endeavor Academy district in Kansas City, Missouri, operates two schools: KIPP Endeavor Academy, an elementary school serving grades PK-8, and KIPP KC Legacy High School, an alternative high school serving grades 9-10. Both schools serve predominantly African American and Hispanic student populations, with very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, the schools are struggling, with KIPP Endeavor Academy's proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the Missouri state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade math, the school's proficiency rate is just 3.6%, compared to the state average of 41.1%. KIPP KC Legacy High School does not have any available test score data, making it difficult to fully assess its academic performance.
Despite the high per-student spending at KIPP Endeavor Academy, which is significantly above the state average, the schools' academic challenges persist. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for a deeper understanding of the root causes of the students' struggles. Overall, the data suggests that the KIPP: Endeavor Academy district faces significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education to its students, who come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
