Q: Is KIPP Journey Collegiate School a good school?

KIPP Journey Collegiate School ranks 1202 nd of 2361 Texas middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

KIPP Journey Collegiate School is a public charter middle school located in Brownsville, Texas, serving grades 6-10 with a total enrollment of 615 students. The school is part of the KIPP Texas Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

KIPP Journey Collegiate School has consistently ranked in the top half of Texas middle schools, with strong performance in reading and English language arts, particularly for African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students. However, the school's mathematics performance lags behind the state average, and its Hispanic students have struggled, ranking significantly lower than the state and district averages. The school's dropout rates have been very low, but its per-student spending has decreased in recent years, which may have impacted its resources and ability to support student learning.

Compared to nearby schools, KIPP Journey Collegiate School's performance is generally stronger than the Alief Independent School District (ISD) and International Leadership of Texas (ILTEXAS) schools, particularly in reading and English language arts. However, the school's mathematics performance lags behind the nearby Fort Bend ISD schools, such as Macario Garcia Middle and Sugar Land Middle, which have higher proficiency rates in math.

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.
