Summary

KIPP Strive Primary Charter School is a K-5 charter elementary school in Atlanta, GA, serving 627 students within the Atlanta Public Schools district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

KIPP Strive stands out as a strong academic performer compared to most nearby elementary schools. While the school holds a mid-range 2-star state rating (43rd percentile), this is notably higher than the majority of its neighbors—many of which rank in the bottom 25th percentile. For example, Finch Elementary ranks in the 17th percentile, and Kipp WAYS Primary Charter School sits at the 11th percentile. Only Beecher Hills Elementary School (72nd percentile) and Tuskegee Airman Global Academy (44th percentile) perform at or above KIPP Strive’s level. The school’s math proficiency is a clear differentiator—4th-grade math proficiency (42.8%) is nearly double that of nearby peers like Finch (23.9%) and Charles L. Gideons Elementary School (28.3%). Science scores (42.6%) also outpace the district average and most neighboring schools.

KIPP Strive also demonstrates strong operational efficiency. Its per-student spending of $10,925 is dramatically lower than nearby schools, which spend between $13,697 and $41,200 per student—yet KIPP Strive achieves better outcomes than most of those higher-spending schools. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (22.1%) than the district average (27.6%) and far better than many neighbors, which range from 27.4% to 48.2%. The school’s trajectory is encouraging: after a pandemic-era dip to the 8th percentile in 2020-2021, it has climbed steadily to the 43rd percentile. Notably, KIPP Strive outperforms its sister school, KIPP WAYS, in nearly every subject and grade level, with higher proficiency rates and better attendance—showing that school-level implementation matters even within the same charter network.
