KIPP Connect High School

Public, Charter Grades

Summary

KIPP Connect High School is a public charter high school in Houston, Texas, serving 554 students in grades 9-12 in a predominantly Hispanic (83%) and low-income community.

While KIPP Connect High School's academic performance on STAAR EOC exams is generally lower than the state and Houston Independent School District averages, the school demonstrates strengths in serving specific student subgroups. It ranks highly for African American students (4-star rating) and English Language Learners (3-star rating), but lags behind for Asian and White students. The school's dropout rates are relatively low compared to nearby schools like Wisdom High School and Liberty High School.

Compared to nearby traditional public high schools, KIPP Connect High School's academic performance is generally stronger, but it falls behind some high-performing public charter schools in the area, such as Sharpstown International School and Yes Prep - Gulfton. The school's high percentage of low-income students, ranging from 90.07% to 90.91% over the past three years, suggests that it is serving a community with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the academic performance gaps observed.
