Summary

KIPP Impact Academy is a K-8 charter school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 806 students in the Duval district, where nearly all students (97%) come from economically disadvantaged households.

This school presents a unique "Jekyll and Hyde" performance pattern. While elementary math proficiency is very low (20-29%), middle school math scores surge dramatically—reaching 42-66% proficiency. In fact, 7th grade math at KIPP Impact (66% proficient) outperforms both the district (44%) and state (53%) averages. This is the opposite of nearby Duval Charter School at Westside, where math proficiency declines from elementary to middle school. However, 5th grade science proficiency is just 9%—the lowest among all comparable area schools and a staggering 47-point gap from the district average. The school spends $12,443 per student, higher than nearby traditional schools like Gregory Drive Elementary School ($8,743) and Sadie T. Tillis Elementary School ($9,044), yet academic outcomes remain among the worst in the comparison group.

A critical challenge is chronic absenteeism, which affects 53.7% of students—well above the state average of 31.4% and higher than the district average of 44.8%. This persistent issue (54.4% in 2022-2023) is likely a primary driver of low performance. Despite serving a much poorer population than Duval Charter School at Westside (97% vs. 51% free/reduced lunch), KIPP Impact outperforms that school in several middle school metrics, suggesting its model may be more effective at supporting high-needs students through middle school. The nearby Oak Hill Academy (0.33 miles away) is an incomparable outlier with a tiny student-teacher ratio and $28,895 per student spending.
