Summary:

The KIPP Empower Academy District in Los Angeles contains a single elementary school, KIPP Empower Academy, serving about 588 students in grades K-4 with a high percentage from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

KIPP Empower Academy shows a remarkable recent improvement, jumping from the 15th to the 45th percentile in statewide ranking in just one year. The school's performance is notably stronger in mathematics, where it exceeds the state average, though it lags in English Language Arts. This suggests effective math instruction, but a need to strengthen reading and writing support, especially as scores tend to drop between 3rd and 4th grade.

A significant challenge for the school is chronic absenteeism, which at 34.7% is much higher than the state average and likely hinders student progress. Despite this and the school's high-need population, its substantial per-student funding and recent academic recovery are positive signs. Parents should note the school's history of performance fluctuations but can be encouraged by its current upward trajectory and focused strength in mathematics.
