KIPP Comienza Community Prep

Summary:

KIPP Comienza Community Prep is a public charter elementary school serving 1,077 students in grades K-8 in Huntington Park, California. The school is part of the KIPP Comienza Community Prep District, which is ranked 516 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Overall, KIPP Comienza Community Prep performs better than the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates of 46.97% in English Language Arts and 36.48% in Mathematics, compared to 47.04% and 35.54% statewide, respectively. The school also outperforms the state in Science assessments. KIPP Comienza Community Prep is particularly strong in serving Hispanic students and English Language Learners, ranking in the top 25% and top 20% of California elementary schools in these subgroups. However, the school's performance for Special Education students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 50% of schools.

When compared to nearby charter schools like Aspire Titan Academy and Aspire Junior Collegiate Academy, KIPP Comienza Community Prep outperforms them on most test score metrics. The school also generally has higher test scores, particularly in Mathematics, than the traditional public elementary schools in the area, such as Middleton Street, Miles Avenue, and Florence Avenue. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, and its high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.4% is a concern that the school should address.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
