Summary:
KIPP Raices Academy District contains one elementary school, KIPP Raices Academy, serving grades K-4 in Los Angeles, California, with 619 students.
This school demonstrates a clear strength in mathematics, with student proficiency significantly exceeding the California state average across all grades; its 3rd graders, for example, perform particularly well. However, performance in English Language Arts is slightly below the state average, indicating an area for potential growth. The school serves a community with high economic need, with over 80% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, making its strong math outcomes notable. Parents should be aware that chronic absenteeism, at nearly 30%, is a significant challenge for the school and is much higher than the state average, which can impact student learning.
Within the KIPP Raices Academy District, the school has maintained a stable statewide ranking in the 61st to 67th percentile over the past three years. Interestingly, the district itself earns a higher performance rating than the individual school. Key takeaways include effective math instruction that overcomes socioeconomic barriers, a need to address literacy gaps and attendance issues, and consistent performance year-over-year. The school's per-student spending is substantial, which supports its educational mission.
