KIPP Somos Pri

Summary:

KIPP Poder Academy is a public charter middle school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 226 students in grades 6-8. This high-performing school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly for its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population.

KIPP Poder Academy's academic metrics are impressive, with higher proficiency rates on STAAR tests compared to the KIPP Texas Public Schools district and the state average in several subjects and grade levels. The school also excels in supporting specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner (ELL) students, outperforming nearby district schools like Jackson Middle, Tafolla Middle, and Longfellow Middle. Additionally, KIPP Poder Academy maintains low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 2% over the past four school years.

Despite serving a high-need population, with 82.74% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, KIPP Poder Academy's per-student spending is comparable to the surrounding San Antonio Independent School District and North East Independent School District schools. The school also boasts a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7, which is lower than the nearby district schools. These factors, combined with KIPP Poder Academy's strong academic performance, make it a standout choice for families in the San Antonio area.

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.
