KIPP Compton Community

Summary:

KIPP Compton Community is a public charter elementary school serving 551 students in grades K-8 in Compton, California, a city with high poverty rates and underperforming schools. However, this school has struggled to meet the needs of its students, with very high chronic absenteeism, significantly lower test scores than the state and nearby schools, and poor performance for most student subgroups.

KIPP Compton Community had a chronic absenteeism rate of 57.5% in 2022-2023, much higher than the 5.3% to 40.9% range of nearby schools. Its test scores are also alarmingly low, with only 23.78% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 17.83% proficient in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54% respectively. The school's performance for female, male, and low-income students is in the bottom 10-20% of California elementary schools, though its African American and special education students perform in the middle 50% of schools.

In contrast, the nearby schools in the Compton Unified district, such as Carver Elementary and Tibby Elementary, show significantly better outcomes, with over 50% proficiency in English and Math. The schools in the Los Angeles Unified district also outperform KIPP Compton Community. Additionally, the Barack Obama Charter school performs worse than KIPP Compton Community, suggesting the charter school model may not be an effective approach in this area.

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.
