KIPP Promesa Prep

Public, Charter Grades K-4

Summary

KIPP Promesa Prep is an elementary school in Los Angeles serving 495 students in kindergarten through grade 4. In 2024–2025, its results stood out among nearby schools: it had the highest proficiency in both English language arts (ELA) and math, with its clearest lead in math.

The school’s 2024–2025 proficiency was 55% in ELA and 63% in math, compared with state averages of 49% and 37%, respectively. Among nine nearby schools with results that year, KIPP led the group in both subjects; it was 5 points above the next-highest ELA result and 17 points above the next-highest math result. Its results also exceeded nearby-school averages by 18 points in ELA and 30 points in math. SchoolDigger ranked KIPP at the 78th percentile and awarded it 4 stars; the next-highest nearby result was Soto Street Elementary at the 64th percentile. The supplied data do not include district test results, so a direct district comparison is not possible.

Results have risen sharply: from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, ELA proficiency increased by 21 points and math by 26 points. Over the same period, chronic absenteeism fell by 18 points to 30%—a meaningful improvement, though still 10 points above the state rate. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose from the 44th to the 78th percentile, while the school had a student-teacher ratio of 22.1 in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby-school average of 19.1. KIPP reported that 86% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Two SchoolDigger statewide group rankings are notable: Hispanic Students ranked at the 94th percentile, above the school’s overall 78th percentile, and Special Education Students rose from the 35th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 75th in 2024–2025, reflecting stronger statewide rankings for how well the school serves these groups.
