Summary

KIPP Strive Primary Charter School is an elementary school located in Atlanta, Georgia, serving 521 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the Atlanta Public Schools district, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While KIPP Strive Primary has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, its academic performance lags behind nearby schools. The school's test scores on the Milestones Assessment are generally lower than the Atlanta Public Schools and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 33.3% of 3rd-grade students at KIPP Strive Primary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34.9% for the district and the state.

KIPP Strive Primary also faces challenges related to its student population and resource allocation. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.38% to 100% over the past few years. Additionally, KIPP Strive Primary has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.8 to 17.3, and spends between $11,426 and $12,457 per student, which is lower than the spending levels of the nearby Finch Elementary and Beecher Hills Elementary School, which range from $15,320 to $21,668 per student. These factors may contribute to the school's academic challenges and make it more difficult to address the needs of its student population.
