Summary

Kipp: Blytheville College Preparatory is a K-6 charter school in Blytheville, AR, serving 292 students within the KIPP Delta Public Schools district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a community with extremely high economic need.

While the school’s overall academic performance is below state averages, it shows a clear upward trend, with proficiency rates improving in every core subject over the last three years. A standout strength is 3rd-grade math, where 58.5% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—well above the state average of 45.5%. However, the school experiences a sharp "4th-grade cliff," with math proficiency dropping from 58.5% in 3rd grade to just 17.6% in 4th grade, a pattern not seen in nearby higher-performing schools like Armorel Elementary or Manila Elementary. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio (18.8:1) compared to peers like Gosnell Elementary (15.1:1) and Buffalo Island Central Elementary (13.9:1), which may contribute to its challenges.

Despite these hurdles, Kipp: Blytheville College Preparatory provides a meaningfully better educational option than the local Blytheville School District schools—for example, its math proficiency (37.3%) far exceeds Blytheville Elementary (6.8%). The school also spends $14,521 per student, more than several higher-performing nearby districts like Manila School District ($11,488) and Gosnell School District ($12,181), yet outcomes lag behind. The consistent year-over-year improvement in all subjects is a positive sign that recent instructional changes are taking effect, making this a school to watch for families seeking a dedicated, improving option in the Blytheville area.
