Summary:

KIPP NYC Washington Heights Academy Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the KIPP NYC Washington Heights Academy Charter School district, which is ranked 358 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in certain grade levels and subjects, such as higher proficiency rates than the state average in 4th, 5th, 7th, and 8th grade English Language Arts, as well as 4th, 7th, and Algebra I Math. However, the school lags behind the state average in 3rd, 6th, and 8th grade English Language Arts, and 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade Math. The school also has lower proficiency rates than the state in 5th and 8th grade Science. With nearly 95% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may present additional challenges in supporting student learning and achievement.

Despite the mixed academic performance, the KIPP NYC Washington Heights Academy Charter School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.9 to 1 and per-student spending that is higher than the state average. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 1037 out of 2445 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1142 out of 2439 in 2022-2023 and 2024-2025, suggesting its performance may be somewhat inconsistent or sensitive to changes in the broader educational landscape.
