KIPP Memphis Collegiate Elementary

Summary:

KIPP Memphis Collegiate Elementary is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Memphis, Tennessee, with a student population of 536. The school is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, which is ranked 134 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a higher per-student spending level compared to nearby schools like Snowden Elementary/Middle, Downtown Elementary, and Vollentine Elementary, KIPP Memphis Collegiate Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Tennessee elementary schools, with proficiency rates significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly low for its African American student subgroup, ranking in the bottom 50% of Tennessee elementary schools serving this population.

The school's student-teacher ratio is relatively high, ranging from 15.6 to 30 students per teacher, which is higher than the ratios observed at the nearby comparison schools. These findings suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and alignment with the unique needs of its predominantly African American student population to drive meaningful improvements in student outcomes.

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.

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.
