Summary

KIPP Technical Valley Charter School is an elementary school in Albany, NY that serves 821 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the KIPP Technical Valley Charter School District, which is ranked 691 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($18,653 in 2023-2024) than the state average, KIPP Technical Valley Charter School has consistently underperformed compared to New York state averages on standardized assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 23.53% to 58.67% in math and 40% to 56.04% in English Language Arts, while the state averages were 46.74% to 59.7% in math and 50.86% to 56.61% in ELA. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, with English Language Learners and Homeless students performing relatively better, but African American, Hispanic, Special Education, and Economically Disadvantaged students all ranking in the bottom 50% of schools statewide.

Interestingly, nearby traditional public schools in the Albany City School District, such as Menands School, Thomas S O'Brien Academy Of Science & Technology, and Sheridan Preparatory Academy, generally outperform KIPP Technical Valley Charter School on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests the charter school may not be providing a significantly better educational experience than the traditional public schools in the area. Additionally, KIPP Technical Valley Charter School's statewide ranking has steadily declined from 1,214 out of 2,413 New York elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,843 out of 2,445 in 2024-2025, indicating the school is struggling to improve student outcomes over time.
