Public, Charter Grades K-4

Summary

KIPP Raices Academy is a K–4 elementary school in Los Angeles, serving 565 students in the urban Los Angeles area. Its 2025–26 results show a striking split: math proficiency is higher than district and state results, while ELA proficiency is lower than both. The most important takeaway is that the school’s strong all-grades math result does not reflect its much weaker ELA performance.

Math is a relative strength, while ELA is a clear weakness compared with nearby schools. In 2025–26, 52% of students were proficient in math, about 13 points above Los Angeles Unified and 14 points above the state; the school ranked fourth-highest in math among ten nearby schools with results. ELA proficiency was 38%, about 11 points below the district and 12 below the state, and second-lowest among those ten schools. The nearby-school averages were 52% in ELA and 50% in math, leaving KIPP Raices about 15 points below the ELA average and 2 points above the math average. The grade-level picture adds important context: third-grade ELA was 31%, below the district and state, while fourth-grade math was 58%, well above both. Chronic absenteeism was 22.5%, close to the district’s 23.0% but above the state’s 18.3%.

SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars and a 57th-percentile statewide ranking in 2025–26; among nearby schools with rankings, it is tied with Marianna Avenue Elementary and above only Robert F. Kennedy Elementary. Its overall ranking fell from the 93rd percentile in 2017–18 to the 57th in 2025–26, a 36-point decline across those reported years. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for Hispanic students is stronger than the school’s overall ranking, at the 72nd percentile in 2025–26, though that group’s ranking also fell from the 99th percentile in 2017–18. The school’s latest reported student-teacher ratio is 18.5, and its last reported measure was 87.8% free/reduced lunch eligible, both from 2017–18; these older figures do not support a current comparison with nearby schools.
