KIPP Columbus

Summary:

KIPP Columbus is a public charter school serving 1,920 students in grades K-12 in Columbus, Ohio, with a predominantly African American student population (87.66%).

KIPP Columbus stands out for its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 92.2% to 98.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the 28.6% four-year graduation rate at Westwood Preparatory Academy. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.4% in 2019-2020 to 55.0% in 2021-2022, compared to 16.8% at Westwood Preparatory Academy. While KIPP Columbus students generally perform below the state average on Ohio State Tests, the school has a higher per-student spending of $8,189 in 2018-2019, compared to $6,675 at Westwood Preparatory Academy.

The school's diverse student population, with a significantly higher percentage of African American students compared to the majority White student population at Westwood Preparatory Academy, highlights KIPP Columbus's role in serving a predominantly minority community. The school has also seen a decrease in its student-teacher ratio, from 28.5 in 2020-2021 to 17.1 in 2022-2023, which may contribute to better student outcomes, although the school's test scores still lag behind the state averages.

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.

One of the most horrible schools that my daughter goes too!! Can't wait to get her up out of there!! The only thing nice about that school is that its newly built!! Most of the teachers are very rude to students and petty towards students as well!! Most of the teachers do not listen to the child instead say they are too busy!! Close Quote

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.
