KIPP Charlotte

Summary:

KIPP Charlotte is a public charter elementary and middle school serving 944 students in grades K-8 in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a predominantly African American student population.

While KIPP Charlotte aims to provide a high-quality education, the school's academic performance lags significantly behind state and district averages. On North Carolina's End-of-Grade (EOG) tests, KIPP Charlotte's proficiency rates are much lower than the state, with just 45.1% of 3rd graders proficient in math compared to 62.7% statewide, and 47.1% of 8th graders proficient in reading compared to 51.4% statewide. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of North Carolina elementary schools, and its performance varies greatly by student subgroup, with African American, low-income, and special education students struggling the most. Nearby Shamrock Gardens Elementary and Highland Mill Montessori, both magnet schools in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, significantly outperform KIPP Charlotte on these assessments.

The challenges faced by KIPP Charlotte may be unique to the school, as its high percentage of students from low-income families (over 96% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) and relatively high student-teacher ratio (18.7 in 2022-2023) could be contributing factors to its poor academic performance. Despite these challenges, KIPP Charlotte's academic performance has remained stagnant or declined over the past several years, indicating the need for the school to address the underlying issues and implement effective strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
