KIPP Pleasant Grove Pri

Summary:

KIPP Pleasant Grove Pri is an elementary school in Dallas, Texas that serves 555 students in grades PK-5, with a predominantly African American and Hispanic student population. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance than state and district averages.

KIPP Pleasant Grove Pri's academic struggles are particularly pronounced for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, who perform in the bottom 10-15% of Texas schools in these subgroups. The school's high-poverty student population, with over 92% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to these challenges. Interestingly, nearby schools like Buckner Preparatory, Pleasant Grove Elementary, and Annie Webb Blanton Elementary, which serve similar high-poverty populations, generally outperform KIPP Pleasant Grove Pri on academic measures, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be at play.

Despite the school's struggles, its rankings and test scores have remained consistently low over the past several years, with no significant improvement observed. This lack of progress raises concerns about the Dallas Independent School District's ability to effectively support and improve low-performing schools like KIPP Pleasant Grove Pri, which may have broader implications for the district's overall educational outcomes and the equity of educational opportunities for students in the 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.
