Kipp Atlanta Collegiate Charter School

Summary:

Kipp Atlanta Collegiate Charter School is a public charter high school serving 806 students in grades 9-12 in Atlanta, Georgia, which is part of the Atlanta Public Schools district. Despite its charter status, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates.

Kipp Atlanta Collegiate has ranked in the bottom quartile of Georgia high schools over the past 10 years, declining from a high of 124 in 2013-2014 to its current ranking of 397 out of 400-450 high schools. Its proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below average, with only 17.6% of students proficient in American Literature compared to 42% statewide. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 94.98% to 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past 3 years. While Kipp Atlanta Collegiate's graduation rate has been above the state average, it has declined from 92.1% in 2021-2022 to 85.2% in 2020-2021.

Compared to nearby district-run high schools like Midtown High School and Carver High School Early College, Kipp Atlanta Collegiate performs significantly worse on test scores and graduation rates, despite spending less per student than some of these high-poverty schools. The school's small class sizes and charter status have not translated into improved academic outcomes, and its performance has declined over time, suggesting deeper challenges in effectively serving its student population.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
