Initiative that provides our leaders with a common framework to analyze and compare financial and

operational data such as revenues and costs per student, growth plans, school design models (including

enrollment,staffingratios,andoperatingcosts)byschooltype,andorganizationaldesigns.

Toassessfinancialsustainability,weaskourselvesthreekeyquestions:

norm-referenced test 2009-10 measures of academic progress (map)

reading

notesnorm-referenced testNational norm-referenced tests measure how much growth KIPP students demonstrate in a given year, compared to a national norm population. The 50th percentile represents average student performance for a given grade and test.

otherValues on all graphs are rounded to the nearest whole number. Percentages for student demographics and norm-referenced tests may not add up to 100 due to rounding. Values less than 11% may not be labeled due to space constraints.Historically, a significant number of students who left KIPP DC schools have moved to nearby and lower-cost Maryland communities. Although these communities are often within 5 miles of KIPP DC schools, students are ineligible to attend DC Public Schools and D.C Public Charter Schools if they are not residents of the District. High school students in Washington D.C. first take state criterion-referenced tests in reading and math in the tenth grade. Thus, performance of KIPP DC: College Preparatory school’s first class of tenth graders will be reported in the 2011 KIPP Report Card.

otherValues on all graphs are rounded to the nearest whole number. Percentages for student demographics and norm-referenced tests may not add up to 100 due to rounding. Values less than 11% may not be labeled due to space constraints. Metric for “1+ year of academic progress” and norm-referenced test results are not available because KIPP DC: Discover did not administer norm-referenced tests in 2009-2010. Historically, a significant number of students who left KIPP DC schools have moved to nearby and lower-cost Maryland communities. Although these communities are often within 5 miles of KIPP DC schools, students are ineligible to attend DC Public Schools and DC Public Charter Schools if they are not residents of the District.

not take the state criterion-referenced test, which begins in the third grade in New York.

In 2009-2010, early childhood assessments included Fountas and Pinnell running records to assess

students’ comprehension, phonemic awareness, and fluency in order to appropriately determine a

reading level. In addition, KIPP Academy Elementary used Everyday math curriculum-based assessments

along with internal Science, Social Studies, and Writing assessments. Assessments and observations also

focused on assessing the development of students’ social and emotional skills.

As an elementary school serving only pre-kindergarten through first grade in 2009-10, KIPP Coastal

Village Lower School’s students did not take the state criterion-referenced test, which begins in the third

grade in Texas.

In 2009-10, early childhood assessments at KIPP Coastal Village Lower School included the Kathy

Richardson Number Sense Assessments to provide growth-over-time data and to inform instructional

planning; a Phonological Awareness assessment is used with all grade levels in early literacy development;

as well as the Fountas & Pinnell Reading Benchmark Assessment in kindergarten and first grades for

instructional and independent reading levels. A Developmental Writing Continuum from New Zealand

is used to document student progress in writing, and other teacher-developed assessments are also

utilized.

Grade five at KIPP 3D Academy and KIPP DREAM Prep is recognized by the state under a single charter, while grades six through eight of KIPP 3D Academy are recognized under a separate, single charter. However, because state ratings are derived primarily from state accountability tests that begin in the third grade, and because KIPP DREAM Prep served grades PreK through 2nd in 2009-10, the state ratings do not reflect KIPP DREAM Prep’s student achievement and are therefore not reported. Metric for “1+ year of academic progress” is available only for grades 1 and 2 since they tested on SAT-10 n the fall and spring of 2009-10, while kindergartners only tested in the spring of 2010.

Because state ratings are derived primarily from state

accountability tests that begin in the third grade, and

because KIPP ZENITH served only kindergarten in 2009-10,

the state rating does not reflect KIPP ZENITH’s student

achievement and is therefore not reported.
