KIPP Halifax College Preparatory

Summary:

KIPP Halifax College Preparatory is an elementary public charter school in Halifax, North Carolina, serving 591 students from kindergarten to 8th grade. The school is part of the Halifax County Schools district, which is ranked 233 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

KIPP Halifax College Preparatory stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (84.43%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, such as Belmont Elementary School. However, the school consistently performs well below the state average in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency was 20.3% compared to the state average of 62.7%, and its 3rd-grade reading proficiency was 14.1% compared to the state average of 48.7%. This poor academic performance has led to the school being ranked in the bottom 5% of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

The challenges faced by KIPP Halifax College Preparatory are further highlighted by its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.29% to 99.54% over the past three school years. This suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the school's struggles to provide a high-quality education. Despite being a public charter school, KIPP Halifax College Preparatory has not shown any meaningful improvement in its academic performance or ranking over the past several years, raising concerns about the overall quality of education in the Halifax County Schools district and the broader community.

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.
