Summary

KIPP Halifax College Preparatory is a public charter elementary school in Halifax, North Carolina, serving 542 students from kindergarten to 8th grade. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a statewide ranking between 1,296 and 1,502 out of 1,473 to 1,514 schools over the past several years.

The school's academic performance is significantly below the state averages in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency was 37.5% compared to the state average of 64.1%. This poor performance is particularly evident for male students, female students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with rankings in the bottom 5-10% of North Carolina elementary schools for these subgroups. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.29% to 99.45% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Hollister Elementary Leadership Academy, Inborden Elementary S.T.E.A.M. Academy, and Belmont Elementary School, generally perform better than KIPP Halifax College Preparatory on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a less economically disadvantaged student population. While the reasons for KIPP Halifax College Preparatory's poor performance are complex, the high percentage of students from low-income families and the relatively high student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors.
