KIPP Austin Obras

Summary:

KIPP Austin Obras is a public charter elementary school serving 453 students in grades PK-4 in the predominantly Hispanic neighborhood of Austin, Texas. However, the school has consistently underperformed academically, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools based on statewide assessments.

KIPP Austin Obras faces significant challenges, with over 85% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance has been consistently low, with students scoring well below state and district averages on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subjects. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger rating has dropped from 3 stars out of 5 in 2017-2018 to 0 stars in recent years, suggesting a concerning trend in the school's overall performance.

When compared to nearby elementary schools in the Austin Independent School District, such as St. Elmo Elementary, Linder Elementary, and Pleasant Hill Elementary, KIPP Austin Obras significantly underperforms, with lower academic proficiency rates and poorer overall SchoolDigger rankings. This suggests that the school may be struggling to effectively serve its predominantly low-income, Hispanic student population, and that the KIPP Texas Public Schools district may need to implement more comprehensive strategies to support and improve its lowest-performing schools.

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.
