Summary:
KIPP DuBois Charter School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area, with a total enrollment of 497 students. While the school has a commendable four-year graduation rate of 96.1%, its academic performance, as measured by Keystone Exam proficiency rates, is significantly below the state averages, particularly in Algebra I and Biology.
The student population at KIPP DuBois Charter School is predominantly African American, with 97.79% of students identifying as such. This raises questions about the school's ability to serve a diverse student population and provide equitable educational opportunities. Despite the relatively high spending per student of $19,753, the school's academic outcomes do not appear to be commensurate with the level of funding, suggesting a need for more efficient and effective use of resources to support student learning and achievement.
Overall, KIPP DuBois Charter School faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement and student outcomes, with large gaps between its performance and the state averages on Keystone Exams. The school's racial demographics, low proficiency rates, and high spending per student warrant further investigation and the development of a comprehensive plan to address these issues and improve the educational experience for its students.
