Summary

KIPP Indy College Prep Middle is a public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Indianapolis, Indiana, with 369 students. Despite being part of the KIPP Indy College Prep Middle district, which is ranked 347 out of 380 districts in the state, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Indiana middle schools over the past 10 years.

One of the key challenges facing KIPP Indy College Prep Middle is its extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 43.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and most nearby schools like Belzer Middle School and Merle Sidener Gifted Academy. This high chronic absenteeism appears to be a major contributor to the school's consistently low academic performance, with proficiency rates on ILEARN assessments being extremely low compared to state and local averages.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($10,263 to $15,077) than the state average, KIPP Indy College Prep Middle has not been able to translate this additional funding into improved educational outcomes. The school also has an exceptionally high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 95-97% over the past few years, and a higher student-teacher ratio than most nearby schools. These factors suggest that the school may be struggling to provide equitable educational opportunities for its students, and that addressing the root causes of the school's chronic absenteeism and low test scores should be a top priority for the school and district.
