KIPP Academy now a powerhouse
It's nice to see KIPP San Francisco Bay Academy knocking the cover off the ball! This is pretty remarkable: "The academy’s Academic Performance Index score increased from 698 to 836, growing by 138 points. On average, most schools improved five to 30 points." I'd be curious to know (so please email me if you have an answer) if there are any schools serving primarily low-income, minority students, excluding No Excuses charter schools, that are showing students gains like this.
More teachers, rigorous coursework and longer school days are just a few of the fundamentals KIPP San Francisco Bay Academy Principal Lydia Glassie attributes to her students’ major gains on last year’s state standardized tests.The school, a charter that serves 245 fifth- through eighth-graders in The City’s Western Addition, improved more than any other San Francisco Unified school last year, according to data released Tuesday by the state Department of Education.
