KIPP Report Card 2008 - Revised

CARD2008

REPORT

proving what is possible for 15 years

KIPP, the Knowledge Is Power Program, is a national network of free, open-enrollment,

college-preparatory public schools with a track record of preparing students in

underserved communities for success in college and in life. There are currently 66 KIPP

schools in 19 states and the District of Columbia serving almost 17,000 students.

All KIPP schools share a core set of operating principles known as the Five Pillars: High

Expectations, Choice & Commitment, More Time, Power to Lead, and Focus on Results.

Our vision is that, one day, all public schools will help children develop the knowledge,

skills, character, and habits necessary to achieve their dreams while making the world a

better place.

At KIPP, we are committed to sharing the results of all KIPP schools—ensuring we maintain

high quality and acknowledging where we have room for improvement as we grow our

network. The annual KIPP Report Card is a direct reflection of our commitment to

transparency and accountability for student results and achievement in our schools.

In a nation that aspires to be a land of opportunity for all, only about half of students from low-income families graduate from

high school by the time they turn 18. Those who do graduate perform, on average, at an eighth grade level. Less than thirteen

percent of African Americans and less than nine percent of Latinos earn a bachelor’s degree. Fewer than one in ten students

from low-income families graduate from college.1

We believe it can be different.

KIPP students show us this difference every day. They choose high expectations, hard work, and real progress as part of a

college-prep education. When we look across the network, we see great schools filled with dedicated, energetic, innovative

teachers that are preparing students to lead lives with limitless possibilities.

To meet high expectations, focusing on results is essential. KIPP’s annual Report Card gathers school profile and achievement

data from each school and provides a network-wide and school-by-school view of student achievement in KIPP schools. We

share our progress each year in a transparent effort to show the work happening inside KIPP schools, shining light on where we

excel and where we need to improve.

KIPP’s sixth annual Report Card captures the tremendous work that is taking place in our 66 schools across the country. In

Baltimore, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, San Lorenzo, San Jose, and Washington, D.C., our schools were ranked the

number one open-enrollment public schools in the district. In 2008, 90 percent of eighth graders matriculated to college-

preparatory high schools. Eighty-five percent of alumni from the original KIPP academies have matriculated to college.

For all of their contributions to these efforts, we would like to thank our supporters and all the KIPP staff, teachers, and

students for their hard work.

As we grow the size of our network to 100 schools by 2011, to serve an anticipated 40,000 students when all of those schools

reach scale, the KIPP Foundation is ever-mindful of our fundamental responsibility to support and sustain excellence in each of

our schools. With the goal of getting better as we get bigger, the Foundation is continually seeking to understand the specific

challenges our schools are facing. We know we have had success in some areas, but have a ways to go in others. Understanding

our challenges and their causes allows us to address them with innovative solutions. In collaboration with our schools and

regions, we are developing and implementing programs targeted to these challenges—programs that are informed by research

and inspired by practice. Ultimately this will better enable us to fulfill our mission of offering an education that transforms the

lives of the kids we serve.

From KIPP students to KIPP staff, our goal is the same – to continue proving what is possible in public education.

KIPP teachers believe that every child will learn. Period. KIPP students make the commitment to work, think, and act so that they and their fellow students will learn. KIPP students strive to meet and exceed expectations, asking questions if they do not understand something, either by raising their hands in class or calling their teachers at night about a homework assignment.

KIPP has HIGH EXPECTATIONS

No shortcuts. No excuses.

for student achievement.

Pursuing Excellence for 15 YearsKIPP began in 1994 when two teachers, Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin, launched a fifth-grade public school program in

inner-city Houston, after completing their commitment to Teach For America. In 1995, Feinberg remained in Houston to

lead KIPP Academy Middle School, and Levin returned home to New York City to establish KIPP Academy in the South

Bronx. These two original KIPP academies became the starting point for a growing network of schools that are

transforming the lives of students in educationally underserved communities, and redefining the notion of what is

possible in public education.

Since its inception, KIPP has focused on helping students in high need communities climb the mountain to college. The

majority of students who enroll in KIPP begin their first year at least one—and in many cases two or more—grade levels

behind their peers in more affluent communities. Consistently, over 95 percent of KIPP students are African American or

Latino and more than 80 percent of KIPP students are eligible for the federal free and reduced-price meals program. At

KIPP, they are part of a community that believes that they will learn and succeed—that demographics do not define

destiny.

In 2000, Doris and Don Fisher created the KIPP Foundation, whose fundamental responsibility was to grow the KIPP

network by training outstanding school leaders to open and operate KIPP schools. Since 1994, KIPP has grown from two

teachers in a single classroom to over 1,100 teachers serving nearly 17,000 kids in 66 schools across the country. Beyond

recruiting and training new school leaders, the KIPP Foundation has facilitated this growth by supporting schools and

regions with targeted and customized services. These services include legal support, real estate, technology, finance,

corporate governance, operations, communications, marketing, and development. Highlights include:

•Training 148 aspiring leaders in the Fisher and Miles fellowships and Pathways programs in 2008-09.

•Establishing a national partnership with the law firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, resulting in more

than $2 million in pro bono and legal services.

•Spearheading a collaborative, network-wide request to secure $3 million in federal subsidies from the E-Rate

program for technology infrastructure for our schools.

•Securing $18 million in facility financing leases and space for ten new and expanding KIPP schools since 2007.

Collaboration between the KIPP Foundation and network enables each KIPP school to be stronger.

Sustaining ExcellenceToday, the Foundation’s major responsibility is to support and sustain excellence in our

schools. Our growth continues to be a journey, complete with challenges that we must

overcome if we are going to get better as we get bigger. The Foundation has identified a

number of these challenges and is working to create innovative solutions that will add value

to our schools and regions. We are developing and implementing a number of programs

designed to surface best practices, to incubate new ideas from inside and outside the

network, and to pilot initiatives in regions. Key areas of focus include using data to analyze

performance and measure progress, enabling sharing and collaboration, and developing and

supporting leaders at all stages of their careers.

sites piloting the Healthy Schools

Initiative

KIPP must relentlessly focus on maintaining high standards of excellence for

student and school performance, even as the network scales. In

collaboration with our schools and regions, the Foundation launched the

Healthy Schools Initiative to begin identifying and tracking key measures of

school health, both academic and non-academic, in order to heighten

awareness of school health.

The Healthy Schools Initiative establishes a shared framework for describing

and measuring school health. The goals are to build understanding of

performance against key performance indicators, identify and share

effective practices, and create an evidence base to inform school

improvement efforts. Healthy Schools focuses on measuring student

outcomes in KIPP schools such as academic achievement and character,

while also examining the leading indicators of these outcomes, such as

leadership and teaching.

Ultimately, this data will allow KIPP leaders to critically assess the

performance of their schools, identify best in class practices by viewing data

from across the network, and share strategies for improvement with one

another. This information will also be used to inform the way in which the

KIPP Foundation provides supports and services, offers professional

development, and assesses the growth readiness of our schools.! We are

currently piloting the Healthy Schools Initiative with 26 schools in the

network, and anticipate national participation over the next two years.

Our major external evaluation effort, the National Evaluation of KIPP Middle

Schools, is in progress. In November 2007, we selected Mathematica Policy

Research as our evaluator for a multi-year evaluation of KIPP middle schools.

The study will deliver information about KIPP’s impact on student outcomes,

both academic and non-academic. The evaluation’s findings will be used to

identify opportunities for program improvement and to share knowledge

and insights with the broader education community.

Giving students and teachers MORE TIME.KIPP students attend nine hours of class a day on average, with additional Saturday school and summer school hours designed to catch them up and move them ahead. The extra time allows teachers to focus on building character strengths and habits, just as significant as academics in preparing students for success in college and beyond. More time also allows for a rich education including arts, physical education, and field lessons.

Time for learning. Time for character.

Enabling Sharing and Collaboration Examining the health of our schools leads us to focus on our greatest asset:

teachers. We have incredible teachers and we are working hard to creating a

culture where sharing and collaboration are promoted and valued.

Enabling sharing and collaboration has two significant intended outcomes. One,

teachers and staff have the resources to be innovative and effective but will not

have to reinvent the wheel. For example, if a math teacher is preparing a lesson

on fractions, he or she does not have to start from scratch, but instead can utilize

prepared materials that have had successful results in other KIPP schools.

Consequently, our students have access to the best that KIPP can offer, regardless

of whether a strategy or a lesson plan originates within their region or even in

their state. Second, we are seeding the growth of more innovative education

ideas. Teachers can build off of each other’s ideas, resulting in stronger teaching

strategies and a better education for their students. This initiative, called KIPP

SHARE, includes the implementation of a common technology platform that is

easily deployed across regions.

At the national level, the Foundation has also formalized a number of

“Communities of Practice” to support staff members who teach the same subject

or share the same job functions, such as Development Director or Regional

Leader. Members of Communities of Practice gain new insights into common

challenges and share knowledge through email listservs, professional

development retreats and school-to-school visits, and web portals where

members share helpful materials. Sharing has proven to be a rewarding

experience that enables teams and individuals to connect with their peers

throughout the network and learn from each other’s experiences. Community

Managers help to set norms, launch collaborative initiatives, organize

professional development activities, and build cohesion within each group.

We believe it is important to have shared language, expectations and tools to

promote leadership at KIPP, thereby strengthening the “Power to Lead.” The

Foundation has recently developed a new leadership competency model that will

serve as the anchor for Foundation and regional efforts to recruit, assess, develop

and retain excellent leaders. This model has broad applicability to leaders across

the network and will align with all levels of leadership. This global model will also

be tailored to describe what is essential to be successful in instructional

leadership roles such as Principal, Assistant Principal, Grade Level Chair, and

Dean. By defining expectations, the entire organization will have a shared

understanding of what it means to be an effective KIPP leader and how to grow

both within a given leadership position and from one leadership position to the

next. This support for high-quality leadership is critical to providing first-rate

educational opportunities in more and more KIPP schools as we continue to

expand.

Since the KIPP Foundation started training school leaders to open new KIPP schools eight years ago, we have grown from two schools in two states, to 66 schools in 19 states and the District of Columbia. Today, KIPP has the most expansive footprint of college-preparatory public schools in the country. Our growth has allowed us to serve nearly 21,000 students. We continue to increase the size of the network with a target of 100 schools operating in the 2010-11 school year, serving 40,000 students a year when those schools are at scale. New KIPP schools are opened by graduates of the KIPP School Leadership Program. The year-long Fisher Fellowship includes intensive summer coursework in an academic setting, half-year residencies at KIPP schools, and individualized coaching from experienced KIPP staff. The Fellowship utilizes lessons learned from the experience of our 77 Fellows over the past eight years so that new school leaders can found and run KIPP schools that are able to serve students in the best ways possible. With the goal of expanding KIPP’s impact thoughtfully and strategically, KIPP is focusing growth in two specific ways.

Opening New Schools in KIPP Regions In our regional growth model, schools are clustered into geographic regions with a shared services center, a common board, and an Executive Director. Schools within a region take advantage of economies of scale in securing talent and other resources, while the shared services center supports school operations so that schools can focus on excellent instruction. Currently a majority of schools (73 percent) are within regions, and all new schools will be opened in existing or new regions. New regions are established based on a rigorous site selection process. The review looks at available talent, funding, and facilities options, and assesses the region’s potential to succeed with academic, financial, and operational autonomy. Our newest region is Jacksonville, Florida.

Moving to PreK through 12 By expanding to a PreK through 12 model within communities, KIPP is aiming to deepen our commitment to each KIPP student. As hard as the students in our middle schools work and as much as they have achieved, we recognize that we can offer them more by starting earlier, providing a high quality education to students as young as three years old. Building on the design created in the first KIPP elementary school opened in 2004 in Houston, we will continue to open schools to serve the youngest KIPPsters. Within three years, elementary schools will comprise 25 percent of the KIPP network. Additionally, by opening high schools, we can make certain that our middle schoolers have access to a high school that embraces high expectations. Across the KIPP network, our commitment is shared – to provide an excellent education to our students and set them on a path to and through college.

KIPP believes that great schools start with great educators. Each KIPP-trained school leader has the power to hire the best teachers for the kids who need them. Together, school leaders and teachers search for optimal ways to help their students achieve, through data sharing, innovation, collaboration, and professional development. If there is a better way, we find it.

Giving educators the and the freedom to innovate.

Great leaders. Great teachers.

POWER TO LEAD

FOCUSING ON RESULTS KIPP schools are committed to results. Students are expected to achieve a level of academic performance that will enable them to succeed at the nation's best high schools and colleges. Schools are constantly reviewing results and using data to innovate, finding ways to improve the education KIPP offers students. The annual KIPP Report Card is a direct reflection of our schools’ commitment to accountability for student achievement.

Open school. Open book.

to monitor and sustain high levels of achievement.

We purposefully share our network-wide and individual school results. As the number of KIPP schools continues to

grow every year, the collective impact of the KIPP network on the lives of children becomes increasingly apparent, as

evidenced by the aggregate results detailed on the following pages. For a look inside individual KIPP schools, pages

16-131 provide data on enrollment, per-pupil funding, facilities, demographics, and student achievement for every KIPP

school that was open during the 2007-08 academic year.

Nationwide, KIPPsters are climbing the mountain to college.

STATE CRITERION-REFERENCED TESTColorado Student Assessment ProgramThis test measures how well students have learned a set of academic skills established by the state. State criterion-referenced tests allow us to see how well KIPP schools performed in a given year, as compared with state standards and district and state averages. Subjects required by the state at each grade level may vary. Tests are administered at the end of each school year and therefore do not represent entering scores. All scores are from the 2007-08 school year and do not represent growth over time.

EARLY CHILDHOOD ASSESSMENT

As an elementary school serving pre-kindergarten in 2007-08, KIPP DC: LEAP’s students did not

take either state criterion-referenced tests, which begin in the third grade, or nationally norm-

referenced tests, which KIPP schools administer beginning in the first grade. In pre-kindergarten

through first grade, KIPP elementary schools focus on diagnostic tests that are designed to moni-

tor the development of pre-reading skills, early literacy skills, early mathematical concepts and

operations; and other social, emotional, and fine and gross motor skills.

In 2007-08, early childhood assessment at KIPP DC: LEAP included assessment of math skills with

number recognition protocol and Everyday Math curriculum-based assessments, and assessment

of early literacy skills with Doors to Discovery curriculum-based assessments.

STATE CRITERION-REFERENCED TESTCriterion Referenced Competency TestThis test measures how well students have learned a set of academic skills established by the state. State criterion-referenced tests allow us to see how well KIPP schools performed in a given year, as compared with state standards and district and state averages. Subjects required by the state at each grade level may vary. Tests are administered at the end of each school year and therefore do not represent entering scores. All scores are from the 2007-08 school year and do not represent growth over time.

NATIONALLY NORM-REFERENCED TESTIowa Test of Basic SkillsThis test enables us to track the performance of a common group of KIPP students over time, and allows us to compare this pro-gress with that of students nationally. The average student remains at the 50th percentile each year and records zero, or normal, growth. Only KIPP students who took both an entering test in the fall and a most recent test are included in these charts.

TEAM Academy, Rise Academy, and Newark Collegiate Academy are recognized by the state under a single charter and therefore receive a combined AYP rating. AYP results are not reported here because New Jersey did not provide an AYP evaluation at the high school level for Newark Collegiate Academy in 2007-08, on account of the fact that the school was in its first year of operation.New Jersey does not have a state rating system.

BIOLOGY RESULTS

In its first year of operation, Newark Collegiate Academy students took an End-of-Course Biol-

ogy assessment as part of the new Statewide High School Assessment program in New Jersey.

Unfortunately, the state of New Jersey has not provided proficiency cut scores for this test,

which prohibits the reporting of criterion-referenced results for the school, as well as for the

city of Newark and the state of New Jersey as a whole. The state intends to provide proficiency

cut scores in future years.

STATE CRITERION-REFERENCED TESTEnd-of-Course TestThis test measures how well students have learned a set of academic skills established by the state. State criterion-referenced tests allow us to see how well KIPP schools performed in a given year, as compared with state standards and district and state averages. Subjects required by the state at each grade level may vary. Tests are administered at the end of each school year and therefore do not represent entering scores. All scores are from the 2007-08 school year and do not represent growth over time.

FACILITY INFORMATIONFacilities/Lease Type: District lease plus owned modulars



Grade five of KIPP 3D Academy and KIPP DREAM Prep are recognized by the state under a

single charter and therefore received a combined AYP and state rating. Because AYP and

state ratings are derived primarily from state accountability tests that begin in the third

grade, and because KIPP DREAM Prep served grades PreK through K in 2007-08, the AYP and

state ratings do not reflect KIPP DREAM Prep's student achievement and are therefore not reported.

EARLY CHILDHOOD ASSESSMENTSAs an elementary school serving grades pre-kindergarten through kindergarten in 2007-08, KIPP DREAM Prep’s stu-

dents did not take either state criterion-referenced tests, which begin in the third grade, or nationally norm-

referenced tests, which KIPP schools administer beginning in the first grade. In pre-kindergarten through first grade,

KIPP elementary schools focus on diagnostic tests that are designed to monitor the development of pre-reading

skills; early literacy skills; early mathematical concepts and operations; and other social, emotional, and fine and

gross motor skills.

In 2007-08, early childhood assessment at KIPP DREAM with pre-kindergarten students included the Marie M. Clay

assessments, and research-based early literacy assessments administered as part of the The Center for Improving the

Readiness of Children for Learning and Education (CIRCLE) framework. Kindergarten assessments included the Texas

English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) and Kathy Richardson assessments for mathematics.

*Houston, Texas, and KIPP results are all reported similarly. The 4-year graduation rate represents the percentage of students that graduated, after controlling for student transfers. Houston and Texas results come from the 2008 AEIS Report and represent data from the Class of 2007. KIPP results are from the Class of 2008.

**Results are for the graduating class of 2008. SAT Participation rates for Texas, HISD, KIPP, and nationally are 50%, 53%, 84%, and 45%, respectively.

***KIPP results are from the Class of 2008 and represent data from the last two years for this cohort.

HIGH SCHOOL COMPLETION AND COLLEGE READINESSTo prepare students for college admission and success, KIPP high schools offer a full range of challenging AP, Honors, and pre-AP courses, and encourage students to take the SAT Reasoning Test and/or the ACT examination. Below we report results across these dimensions, in addition to reporting high school graduation rates.

State Rating in 2008: Not reported




Grade five of KIPP Academy Middle School and KIPP SHINE Prep are recognized by the state

under a single charter and therefore received a combined AYP and state rating. Because AYP

and state ratings are derived primarily from state accountability tests that begin in the third

grade, and KIPP SHINE Prep served grades PreK through 2nd in 2007-08, the AYP and state

ratings do not reflect KIPP SHINE Prep's student achievement and are therefore not reported.

EARLY CHILDHOOD ASSESSMENTSAs an elementary school serving grades pre-kindergarten through second grade in 2007-08, KIPP SHINE Prep’s youngest students did not take either state criterion-referenced tests, which begin in the third grade, or nationally norm-referenced tests, which KIPP schools administer beginning in the first grade. In pre-kindergarten through first grade, KIPP elementary schools focus on diagnostic tests that are designed to monitor the development of pre-reading skills; early literacy skills; early mathematical concepts and operations; and other social, emotional, and fine and gross motor skills. In 2007-08, early childhood assessment at KIPP SHINE included the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS), the Texas Primary Reading Inventory (English), Rigby’s Literacy Running Records, and research-based early literacy assessments administered as part of the The Center for Improving the Readiness of Children for Learning and Education (CIRCLE) framework. Because KIPP SHINE Prep is a dual language school, all students also take the Tejas Lee, the Spanish version of the Texas Primary Reading Inventory that measures students’ phonological awareness and comprehension skills in first grade.

NATIONALLY NORM-REFERENCED TESTStanford Achievement TestThis test enables us to track the performance of a common group of KIPP students over time, and allows us to com-

pare this progress with that of students nationally. The average student remains at the 50th percentile each year and

records zero, or normal, growth. Only KIPP students who took both an entering test in the fall and a most recent test

are included in these charts.

In order to provide a full picture of the achievements of the KIPP network, the KIPP Foundation collects a wide range of

information from each locally run KIPP school. The following categories contain further information on data presented in the

preceding school pages.

Enrollment

The Report Card provides enrollment figures for each school. In December 2008, there were 16,064 students enrolled at the 58

schools featured in the Report Card.

Student Demographics

The Report Card graphically displays the percentage of students who qualify for the federal free and reduced-price meals program

(a proxy for family income), the gender and race/ethnicity percentages by school, and the percentage of students defined as

having special needs, as of December 2008. In the Report Card, we define special needs students as those who have Individualized

Education Plans (IEPs) or are otherwise defined as having special needs. An IEP is a document prepared by a special needs teacher

that, in consultation with parents and other school staff, outlines the learning goals for the students and the ways in which the

school will accommodate and support the student’s special needs.

Funding

The Report Card provides the per-pupil funding estimates for the 2008-09 school year for all KIPP schools featured. As public

schools, KIPP schools are primarily funded by state and local tax dollars. State and local funding levels on a per pupil basis vary

widely across the network, from a low of 5,000 dollars per student at an Oklahoma school, to a high of 14,050 dollars at some of

our schools on the East Coast. 1

More than 95 percent of schools in the KIPP network operate as charter schools. Charter schools typically receive 60 to 90 percent

of the overall public revenue that district public schools receive, and none of the capital expenditure revenue, which district public

schools receive. 2 As public schools serving predominantly low-income students, the majority of KIPP schools receive federal

funding through the Title I program and other categorical grants.

As we grow, we have learned that KIPP schools require private funding at an average of roughly 1,500 dollars per student above

and beyond public funding in order to provide the programs and support services that are core to a KIPP education. These “above

and beyond” costs include:

• Teacher pay at 15 to 25 percent more than traditional public schools to compensate for the longer school day, week, and

year.

• Annual field trips, an integral component of KIPP’s academic program, to places such as Washington, D.C., Utah, and

regional colleges.

• Saturday school costs, such as meals, which are not reimbursed by the district or state.

Facilities

The Report Card provides information on the current facility situation for each of the 58 KIPP schools profiled. For each school, the

Report Card explains whether the current building is owned or leased, along with the square footage of the facility and a photo of

the existing school site. Facilities information is reported on a school by school basis (versus by campus), and the square footage

represents the space accessed by and needed for each school to operate, resulting in a double counting of certain shared

amenities in some cases.

Facilities decisions are influenced both by the availability and the need for space. KIPP schools start small with an initial grade of

between 80 and 90 students for middle and high schools, and between 90 and 100 students for elementary schools. Thus, they are

initially housed in a wide variety of facilities, including church basements, shopping malls, and entire floors in traditional public

school buildings. As KIPP schools grow one grade each year, schools often relocate to new facilities to accommodate the greater

numbers of students.

1 Values reported in this sentence are for KIPP charter schools only, excluding the small number of contract schools that receive in-kind services.

Data Definitions and Methodology

132

Federal Accountability—Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)

Under federal law, schools are required to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP.) AYP is an individual state’s measure of yearly

progress toward achieving state academic proficiency standards in reading and mathematics. AYP is the minimum level of

improvement that states, school districts, and schools must achieve each year regardless of a school’s scores at the beginning of

the school year.

The Report Card provides information on AYP for each school where this data is available. Of the 58 schools featured in the Report

Card, 2008 AYP ratings are available for 51 of them. 43 of these 51 schools made AYP.

The Report Card also contains state-wide information on the percentage of public schools that made AYP. This information is

included in an effort to provide additional context around KIPP schools’ AYP performance by comparing it to the AYP performance

of all schools in that state. State percentages are provided only for those states in which KIPP schools received an AYP rating.

Student Achievement—State Exams

Students enrolled at KIPP schools, like all other public school students, are required to take exams under state and federal law, the

results of which are used for state accountability purposes. The state tests profiled in this Report Card are ‘criterion-referenced

exams,’ which means that the content reflects the academic standards set by each state. The Report Card provides school-level

achievement data for each subject matter test required by the state and compares these results with state and district averages

for each test. We also report 2008 state ratings or designations, when these results are available and applicable. Some states, but

not all, use such a system for rating schools.

Student Achievement—Nationally Norm-Referenced Exams

All KIPP students take norm-referenced achievement exams from first grade through eighth grade. All KIPP middle schools

administer both mathematics and reading tests and most also administer a language test. Norm-referenced tests allow us to

track the performance of students while enrolled in KIPP as compared to their grade-level peers nationally. They also provide a way

to monitor student achievement longitudinally and to see the progress our students are making on the road to college.

The average student that takes a nationally norm-referenced exam will score at the 50th percentile, which is considered to be on

grade level. This student is outperforming five out of ten students nationally. From one year to the next, the average student will

make one grade level of growth and not gain any percentile ranks, meaning that she will stay at the 50th percentile from year to

year. If a student’s percentile increases on a nationally norm-referenced exam from year to year, it means that the student has

made more than one grade level of growth relative to his or her peers.

While all KIPP schools serving first through eighth grade are required to administer a nationally norm-referenced test, each school

has the freedom to determine which test it will use. Within KIPP middle schools, the Stanford Achievement Test has been the

primary norm-referenced test. Of the 49 middle schools profiled in the Report Card, 45 administered the Stanford Achievement

test, while two middle schools took the TerraNova exam, and two middle schools took the Iowa Test of Basic Skills.

When reporting on norm-referenced test achievement, only KIPP students who took both an entering test in the fall of fifth grade

and the most recent test (in the spring or fall) are included in the Report Card. This ‘apples to apples’ comparison, known as a

matched cohort analysis, allows us to show growth in student achievement over time for only those students who have been

continuously enrolled in a KIPP school.
