KIPP Austin Vista Middle Schools

Public, Charter Grades

Summary

KIPP Austin Vista Middle Schools is a public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Austin, Texas, with a student population of 115. The school is part of the KIPP Texas Public Schools district, which is ranked 764 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

KIPP Austin Vista Middle Schools has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below average compared to other Texas middle schools. The school struggles to perform well across various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of Texas middle schools for female, male, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students. Its performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students is particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

When compared to nearby non-KIPP public schools, such as Kealing Middle and Sadler Means YWLA, KIPP Austin Vista Middle Schools performs significantly worse across most academic and performance indicators. These schools, which serve more diverse student populations, demonstrate that high-need students can achieve at higher levels with the right resources and support. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and English Language Learners at KIPP Austin Vista Middle Schools may be contributing to the school's struggles, and the school's small size and limited resources compared to larger district-run schools could be hindering its ability to provide the necessary support and interventions for its student population.
