Summary:
KIPP Bridge Academy District in Oakland, California, contains a single elementary school, KIPP Bridge Academy, which serves grades K-8 with 520 students.
This school serves a community with high economic need and faces a significant challenge with student attendance, as its chronic absenteeism rate is more than double the state average. Academic performance is mixed, with some grades showing strength—like 7th grade in English and 3rd grade in math performing near state averages—while others, particularly 6th grade, struggle significantly. Overall, the school's proficiency rates in English, math, and science are below California averages, with science being the lowest-performing subject.
Despite these academic challenges, the school is funded at a high level per student and has shown a slight upward trend in its statewide ranking over the past few years. For parents, the key considerations are the school's substantial resources and pockets of grade-level success, which are counterbalanced by the critical need to address absenteeism and the inconsistent performance across different grade levels.
