KIPP Austin Brave

Summary:

KIPP Austin Brave is a public charter high school serving 662 students in grades 9-12 in Austin, Texas, with a predominantly Hispanic student population (95%).

KIPP Austin Brave stands out for its strong academic performance, with a four-year graduation rate of 95.6% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average. The school also maintains a relatively low dropout rate, ranging from 0.4% to 1.7% in recent years. However, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is mixed, with better results in subjects like Biology and U.S. History, but lower scores in Algebra I and English I/II Reading. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and English Language Learner students performing better compared to their peers at the state level, while Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students lag behind.

When compared to nearby schools, KIPP Austin Brave generally performs better than Premier High School-Austin South Campus and The Excel Center For Adults - South Austin, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Richards School For Young Women Leaders and Crockett ECHS. The school's highly homogeneous student population and its funding and spending levels, which are higher than the state average but lower than some nearby district-run public schools, provide additional points of comparison and potential areas for further investigation.

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.
