KIPP West Philadelphia Charter School


Summary:

KIPP West Philadelphia Charter School is the only school in the data set, serving grades K-8 with 805 students in the West Philadelphia area. The school has a predominantly African American student population (94.78%), but its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

KIPP West Philadelphia Charter School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 3 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending of $19,388 per student, the students are not achieving proficiency at the same rates as their peers across the state. For example, in 3rd grade math, only 13.6% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 51.7%.

On a positive note, the school has a 0.0% dropout rate, indicating that it is able to retain its students, even if they are struggling academically. However, the data suggests that KIPP West Philadelphia Charter School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly minority student population. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of these challenges and identify potential strategies for improvement.
