Summary

KIPP Austin College Prep is a public charter middle school in Austin, TX, serving 465 students in grades 5 through 8, and is part of the KIPP Texas Public Schools district. The school serves a highly economically disadvantaged population, with over 94% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. After a significant decline in rankings from 2018-2019 to 2022-2023, the school has shown a strong rebound, now ranking in the 51st percentile statewide (3 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year.

KIPP Austin College Prep stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced math, particularly Algebra I, where 65.6% of test-takers were proficient in 2025-2026—significantly outperforming the district (45.51%) and the state (54.03%). The school also excels in 7th grade mathematics, with 48.57% of students proficient compared to just 29.41% statewide. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools serving similar demographics, such as Webb Middle and Dobie Middle, which rank in the 2nd to 5th percentile. While KIPP is not at the level of higher-income schools like Murchison Middle (92nd percentile) or Lamar Middle (86th percentile), it is a clear outlier for the better among schools with high poverty rates in its area.

The school’s recovery has been uneven across student groups. While male and Hispanic students have rebounded strongly to the 56th and 61st percentiles, respectively, special education students and English language learners have not kept pace, ranking in the 33rd and 32nd percentiles. KIPP’s approach to advanced coursework is notable: its high Algebra I enrollment suggests it provides access to a broader range of students, unlike General Marshall Middle, which had 100% proficiency but only a handful of test-takers. Overall, KIPP Austin College Prep demonstrates that its instructional model can effectively mitigate challenges associated with high poverty, a feat its closest public-school neighbors have not replicated.
