KIPP Generations Academy

Public, Charter Grades

Summary

KIPP Generations Academy is a public charter elementary school located in Gardena, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 117 students. The school is part of the KIPP Generations Academy District, which is ranked 1530 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

KIPP Generations Academy is struggling academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science compared to the state and nearby schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were only 18.84% in ELA and 9.42% in Math, far below the state averages. When compared to nearby schools like Ambler Avenue Elementary and One Hundred Fifty-Sixth Street Elementary, KIPP Generations Academy's academic performance lags significantly behind.

The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 41.1% in the 2022-2023 school year is also a concern, as it is much higher than the state average and nearby schools. Additionally, KIPP Generations Academy's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low-socioeconomic status students, is particularly low, ranking in the bottom 10-40% of California elementary schools. These equity concerns suggest that the school may not be effectively meeting the needs of its most vulnerable student populations.
