Summary:
KIPP DuBois Charter School is the sole high school in the KIPP DuBois Charter School district, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The school serves students in grades 9-12 and has consistently struggled to meet academic standards, ranking in the bottom 15% of Pennsylvania high schools for the past three years.
Despite higher-than-average spending per student, KIPP DuBois Charter School has significantly lower test scores than the state average, with only 10.9% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Algebra I and 16.1% proficient or better in Biology, compared to state averages of 44.3% and 49.3%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is also slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.4% is relatively low.
The high concentration of economically disadvantaged students, with 99.43% of the student population receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the school's academic struggles. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.5 to 1, this has not translated into improved student outcomes. The data suggests that KIPP DuBois Charter School needs to implement significant changes to address its performance issues and better support the unique needs of its student population.
