KIPP Nashville College Prep

Summary:

KIPP Nashville College Prep is a public charter middle school serving grades 5-8 in Nashville, Tennessee, with a diverse student population that is predominantly African American and Hispanic.

While KIPP Nashville College Prep has shown some strengths in supporting the academic achievement of specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low-income students, the school's overall academic performance has been mixed compared to the Davidson County and Tennessee state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 34.4% in mathematics, 27.1% in English Language Arts, 36.3% in science, and 47.9% in social studies, with the school generally lagging behind the state averages, especially in English Language Arts. However, the school does outperform some of the lower-performing nearby middle schools, such as East Nashville Middle, Jere Baxter Middle, and Haynes Middle.

KIPP Nashville College Prep has a relatively high per-student spending of $17,426 in the 2020-2021 school year, but also a higher student-teacher ratio of 29.8 in 2022-2023, which may impact the level of individualized attention students receive. The school's academic performance has also been somewhat inconsistent, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the years, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent, high-quality educational outcomes for its students.

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.
