KIPP DuBois Charter School

KIPP DuBois Charter School is the only high school in the KIPP DuBois Charter School district, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 555th out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools in 2021-2022 to 604th out of 686 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 87.5%, slightly below the state average. However, the school's dropout rate for the same year was relatively low at 1.6%. Academically, KIPP DuBois Charter School struggles, with proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams significantly lower than the state averages across all subject areas (Algebra I, Biology, and Literature). Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $19,753 for the 2021-2022 school year, the academic performance of its students does not appear to be commensurate with the level of investment.

Overall, the data suggests that KIPP DuBois Charter School is not a high-performing school and may be facing challenges in providing a quality education to its students. The declining statewide ranking, low test scores, and high spending per student raise questions about the school's effectiveness and the factors contributing to its underperformance.
