Elementary Schools in KIPP Minnesota Charter School

Summary:

The KIPP Minnesota Charter School district operates a single elementary school, KIPP North Star Primary, which serves students in grades K-4. Based on the available data, KIPP North Star Primary appears to be a consistently low-performing school, ranking among the bottom 10% of elementary schools in Minnesota over the past three school years.

KIPP North Star Primary has struggled academically, with proficiency rates in both math and reading well below the state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 8.33% of students were proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 45.21%, and the reading proficiency rate was just 6.38%, compared to the state average of 49.59%. The school's performance is also significantly lower than the KIPP Minnesota Charter School district average, indicating that it is an outlier within the district.

Demographic factors may contribute to the school's challenges, as KIPP North Star Primary has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 91.95% in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's small student population of 149 students and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 16.5 may also be factors in its poor academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that KIPP North Star Primary requires significant intervention and support to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education to its students.
