KIPP East End High School

Q: Is KIPP East End High School a good school?

KIPP East End High School ranks 1482 nd of 1987 Texas high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

KIPP East End High School is a public charter high school in Houston, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 463, predominantly Hispanic students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

While KIPP East End High School has relatively low dropout rates compared to nearby schools like Milby High School and Yates High School, its academic performance on standardized tests lags significantly behind the state and district averages, as well as nearby high-performing schools such as East Early College High School and Energy Institute High School. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 12% of KIPP East End High School students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 44.73% statewide and 38.03% for the Houston Independent School District (ISD).

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at KIPP East End High School, ranging from 65.06% to 91.59% in recent years, suggests that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.8 to 18.6, indicates a more personalized learning environment that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes. Addressing the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems for students may help KIPP East End High School better prepare its students for post-secondary success, especially in comparison to the nearby high-performing schools in the Yes Prep Public Schools Inc district.

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.

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.
