Summary:
The KIPP Los Angeles College Preparatory District contains one middle school, KIPP Los Angeles College Preparatory, serving about 530 students in grades 5 through 8 in Los Angeles.
This school stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently ranking in the top 15% of all California schools. It significantly outperforms state averages across all subjects, with science being a particular strength where over 53% of students are proficient compared to about 33% statewide. The school serves a student population where over three-quarters qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet it maintains a chronic absenteeism rate well below the state average, which contributes to its success.
A key finding is the impressive academic growth students show from 5th to 8th grade. For example, math proficiency rises from about 35% in 5th grade to nearly 60% in 8th grade, demonstrating the school's effectiveness in accelerating learning over the middle school years. While the school's statewide ranking saw a slight change recently, its core academic performance remains high, supported by substantial per-student funding and its position within a highly-rated district.
