KIPP Connect High School

Summary:

KIPP Connect High School is a public charter high school in Houston, Texas, serving 554 students in grades 9-12 in a predominantly Hispanic (83%) and low-income community.

While KIPP Connect High School's academic performance on STAAR EOC exams is generally lower than the state and Houston Independent School District averages, the school demonstrates strengths in serving specific student subgroups. It ranks highly for African American students (4-star rating) and English Language Learners (3-star rating), but lags behind for Asian and White students. The school's dropout rates are relatively low compared to nearby schools like Wisdom High School and Liberty High School.

Compared to nearby traditional public high schools, KIPP Connect High School's academic performance is generally stronger, but it falls behind some high-performing public charter schools in the area, such as Sharpstown International School and Yes Prep - Gulfton. The school's high percentage of low-income students, ranging from 90.07% to 90.91% over the past three years, suggests that it is serving a community with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the academic performance gaps observed.

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.
