Summary:

KIPP Technical Valley Charter School is an elementary school serving 913 students in grades K-8 in Albany, New York, which is part of the Albany City School District. The school has a predominantly African American student population (80.61%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (83.24% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

KIPP Technical Valley Charter School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 21.65% to 37.36%, compared to the state average of 44.89% to 55.2%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students. Nearby public schools, such as Menands School, Thomas S O'Brien Academy Of Science & Technology, and Pine Hills Elementary School, generally outperform KIPP Technical Valley Charter School on state assessments.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $17,230 in 2022-2023, KIPP Technical Valley Charter School has a high student-teacher ratio of 32.6, which is significantly higher than the nearby public schools. The school's racial composition and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be contributing factors to its struggles, as research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds and certain racial/ethnic groups often face additional challenges that can impact their educational 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.
