Summary:
KIPP Philadelphia Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the KIPP Philadelphia Charter School district. Based on the available data, this school appears to be a low-performing institution, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of elementary schools in Pennsylvania over the past three years.
The school's academic performance is significantly below state averages, with proficiency rates of just 8.9% in math, 41.9% in science, and 23.2% in English language arts, compared to state averages of 40.4%, 65.8%, and 53%, respectively. Additionally, the school's overall rating from SchoolDigger is just 1 out of 5 stars, indicating below-average performance. Despite the school's struggles, it spends a relatively high amount per student ($20,750) compared to the state average.
With 99.16% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, KIPP Philadelphia Charter School serves a student population that is overwhelmingly from low-income backgrounds. This high concentration of poverty likely presents significant challenges for the school in terms of providing resources and support to meet the needs of its students. The school's declining statewide ranking over the past three years suggests that it is not keeping pace with improvements in other schools across the state.
