KIPP Paseo Preparatory School

Q: Is KIPP Paseo Preparatory School a good school?

KIPP Paseo Preparatory School ranks 1625 th of 2361 Texas middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

KIPP Paseo Preparatory School is a public charter middle school serving grades 5-9 in the predominantly Hispanic community of Austin, Texas. The school is part of the KIPP Texas Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While KIPP Paseo Preparatory maintains a 0% dropout rate, the school faces significant academic challenges. Its test scores on the STAAR assessments are generally lower than the state and KIPP Texas district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 13-45% in reading and 13-30% in math, compared to state averages of 48-54% in reading and 32-49% in math. The school also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, with rankings in the bottom 10-20% of Texas middle schools for African American, Hispanic, and special education students. However, the school performs better for English language learners, ranking in the top 40% of Texas middle schools.

Compared to nearby public schools, such as Kealing Middle and Lively Middle, which are among the top-performing middle schools in the Austin area, KIPP Paseo Preparatory's test scores and overall performance tend to be lower. The school's high-poverty student population, with over 85% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to these academic challenges. Despite these difficulties, KIPP Paseo Preparatory's relatively small student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.3 to 18.2 in recent years, suggests that the school may be providing a supportive environment for its students.

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.
