The Tennessean reports on the challenges KIPP Academy Nashville has had in getting additional charters approved within Metro Nashville Schools, based in part on the assertion that KIPP is not performing as well as others in the district. ECF’s own analysis shows very high value-added performance on the part of the school, contrary to the article.
See the following analyses to see whether KIPP’s performance merits additional charters:
- KIPP compared with select MNPS schools on value-added performance (TVAAS ranking)
- KIPP compared with select MNPS school on value-added and achievement performance (TCAP and TVAAS)
- KIPP value-added scores compared with select MNPS schools – reading
- KIPP value-added scores compared with select MNPS schools – mathematics
- KIPP value-added scores compared with select MNPS schools – composite
- Davidson County (MNPS) value-added scores – composite
Those interested in doing their own analyses can work with ECF’s School Performance Charts or Growth vs. Achievement “Birdshot” Charts.
