The school's academic performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1419 out of 1502 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1306 out of 1490 in 2024-2025, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
KIPP Charlotte's proficiency rates in most subject areas and grade levels are significantly lower than the state averages. For instance, in 8th grade math, the school's proficiency rate is 13.3% compared to the state average of 48.7%. However, the school's strongest performance is in 8th grade science, where 65.3% of students are proficient or better, exceeding the state average of 60.1%. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 96.89% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, and has a higher student-teacher ratio of 18.4 compared to the state average.
While KIPP Charlotte's declining performance and socioeconomic challenges present significant obstacles, the school's relatively strong performance in 8th grade science could be an area to build upon and potentially apply best practices to other subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, addressing the high student-teacher ratio may be a potential area of focus to improve overall academic outcomes for the school.
