Summary:

KIPP Intrepid Preparatory is a public charter middle school in Houston, Texas, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 485 students. While the school is part of the KIPP Texas Public Schools district, its performance lags behind many of its peers in the area.

KIPP Intrepid Preparatory has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (96.91%) compared to nearby schools, and its STAAR test scores are generally lower than the state and KIPP Texas Public Schools averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's 5th grade reading proficiency (30.89%) is well below the state average (53.96%) and the KIPP Texas Public Schools average (38.22%). Additionally, the school has seen a gradual increase in its dropout rate, from 0.0% in 2019-2020 to 1.6% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a very high percentage of students (91.96%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools, KIPP Intrepid Preparatory's performance is mixed. While it outperforms Navarro Middle in some areas, it lags behind the higher-performing Project Chrysalis Middle, a magnet school. The school also performs worse than the nearby KIPP Liberation College Preparatory, another KIPP school in the district. To improve student outcomes, KIPP Intrepid Preparatory may need to focus on targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and strategies to address the unique needs of its student population.

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.
