Summary

KIPP Summit Academy is a highly-rated public charter middle school serving 427 students in grades 5-8 in San Lorenzo, part of the top-performing KIPP Summit Academy District.

The school's academic results are exceptional, dramatically outperforming both the state and all nearby middle schools. For example, 83% of students are proficient in English compared to 49% statewide, and it far surpasses the closest school, Washington Manor Middle, where only 36% are proficient. This high achievement extends to all student groups, including English learners and students from low-income families, who rank in the 98th percentile statewide. Furthermore, the school has an extraordinarily low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.5%, which is over four times better than even the best-attending nearby school like Bancroft Middle.

KIPP's success stands out in the local area, where the ten other middle schools within about five miles, such as Elmhurst United Middle and Bret Harte Middle, all perform below state averages. The school invests more per student than its neighbors, which may contribute to these outstanding outcomes. It has consistently improved its statewide ranking, now placing in the top 6% of all California middle schools, proving that high performance is possible while serving a community with significant economic need.
