Summary:
The KIPP Navigate College Prep District consists of a single charter high school, KIPP Navigate College Prep, serving grades 9-12 in San Jose with 297 students and a notably high per-student spending of over $36,000.
This school shows clear academic strengths and areas for growth. It excels in English Language Arts, where student proficiency significantly outpaces the state average, and maintains an excellent attendance record with a chronic absenteeism rate much lower than the state. However, performance in mathematics and overall science lags behind California averages, and the graduation rate is slightly below the state while the dropout rate is higher.
An interesting finding is the dramatic difference in science performance between grades, with 10th graders outperforming the state but 11th graders scoring far below it, which suggests a specific challenge at that grade level. The school has shown consistent, middle-tier performance in state rankings for three years. For parents, this indicates a school with a strong culture of attendance and literacy development that is still working to improve outcomes in math and science and to support all students through to graduation.
