KIPP Generations Academy

Summary:

KIPP Generations Academy is a public charter elementary school located in Gardena, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 117 students. The school is part of the KIPP Generations Academy District, which is ranked 1530 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

KIPP Generations Academy is struggling academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science compared to the state and nearby schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were only 18.84% in ELA and 9.42% in Math, far below the state averages. When compared to nearby schools like Ambler Avenue Elementary and One Hundred Fifty-Sixth Street Elementary, KIPP Generations Academy's academic performance lags significantly behind.

The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 41.1% in the 2022-2023 school year is also a concern, as it is much higher than the state average and nearby schools. Additionally, KIPP Generations Academy's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low-socioeconomic status students, is particularly low, ranking in the bottom 10-40% of California elementary schools. These equity concerns suggest that the school may not be effectively meeting the needs of its most vulnerable student populations.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

2023	117	4.9	23.4	76.9

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
