Summary

Kipp:delta College Prep School is a public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Helena, Arkansas, part of the KIPP Delta Public Schools district. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, currently ranking 229 out of 324 middle schools in Arkansas with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kipp:delta College Prep School consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates across all subject areas, with rates ranging from 20.6% to 41.2% compared to the state averages of 32.7% to 39.6%. The school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating its student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student than the state average, the school's academic performance remains below its peers.

The school's declining statewide ranking and low proficiency rates suggest it is struggling to improve student outcomes. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to these challenges, and the school's leadership should closely examine the factors impacting performance and develop targeted strategies to address them and provide a better educational experience for its students.
