Summary:
KIPP Philadelphia Charter School is the sole elementary school located within the KIPP Philadelphia Charter School district. Serving students from grades K-8, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state averages on key metrics such as standardized test scores and statewide rankings.
KIPP Philadelphia Charter School has been ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with rankings between 1348-1417 out of around 1500 schools. Its proficiency rates on the PSSA tests are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with an overall Math proficiency rate of just 12.1% compared to the state average of 41.7%. The school also has a higher-than-average dropout rate of 1.4%.
Despite the school's high per-student spending of $23,611 and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.7 to 1, these resources have not translated into strong academic outcomes. This may be due in part to the school's extremely high percentage of students (over 100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the low student-teacher ratio could be a positive factor, significant interventions and support may be needed to help KIPP Philadelphia Charter School improve its performance and provide a high-quality education for its students.
