Summary:
KIPP Technical Valley Charter School is an elementary school located in Albany, New York, serving 913 students in grades K-8. According to the data, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating poor overall performance.
KIPP Technical Valley Charter School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below the statewide averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 19.78% to 43.53% in English Language Arts and 13.19% to 41.98% in Math, compared to statewide averages of 42.6% to 51.88% in ELA and 40.72% to 58.03% in Math. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American students, Hispanic students, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students, all of whom scored significantly lower than the statewide averages for those subgroups. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty student population, with 83.24% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
Interestingly, the nearby schools in the analysis, such as Menands School, Thomas S O'Brien Academy Of Science & Technology, and the Brighter Choice Charter Schools, generally outperform KIPP Technical Valley Charter School on academic measures, despite also serving high-poverty student populations. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the poor performance of KIPP Technical Valley Charter School, which has also seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking and performance over the past several years.
