Summary

KIPP Blytheville Collegiate High School is a public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in Blytheville, Arkansas, with a small student population of 133. The school is part of the KIPP Delta Public Schools district, which is ranked 217 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size and low student-teacher ratio, KIPP Blytheville Collegiate High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its own district on standardized tests across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 17.2% of KIPP Blytheville students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34.7% statewide. In math, the school's proficiency rate was 19.5% compared to 38.7% statewide. Additionally, the school has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Osceola High School (50-73% free/reduced lunch).

While KIPP Blytheville Collegiate High School has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 4:1 to 12.3:1 over the past few years, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school also spends more per student, at $15,539 in the 2018-2019 school year, compared to nearby schools, which ranged from $10,350 to $13,683 per student. These factors suggest that the school's struggles may be due to factors beyond just class size, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and instructional practices, and that the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning may need to be addressed.
