KIPP Austin Comunidad

Summary:

KIPP Austin Comunidad is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Austin, Texas, with a student population of 556 that is predominantly Hispanic (87.05%). The school is part of the KIPP Texas Public Schools district, which is ranked 717 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

KIPP Austin Comunidad has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with below-average performance on STAAR assessments, particularly in mathematics. However, the school performs relatively better for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and special education students. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 89% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and higher spending per student ($10,750 in 2020-2021) suggest that it is investing resources to support its students, but these inputs have not yet translated into consistently stronger academic outcomes.

Comparing KIPP Austin Comunidad to nearby schools, the charter school performs better academically than the Austin Achieve Northeast Elementary and Austin Achieve Pflugerville schools, but underperforms compared to the nearby traditional public schools in the Austin Independent School District, such as Andrews Elementary, Harris Elementary, and Pickle Elementary, which serve similar student populations.

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.
