Original Research by School Decision on Kipp Raices Academy District
KIPP Raices Academy District is a small elementary charter district in Los Angeles County serving kindergarten through fourth grade. The district operates one school, KIPP Raices Academy, with a combined enrollment of about six hundred students spread across five grade levels.
The student body is overwhelmingly Hispanic, reflecting the neighborhood it serves. The vast majority of enrolled students come from Hispanic backgrounds, with very small populations of Asian, White, and multiracial students and fewer than a handful of Black students. No data was available on the rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, English learner status, or special education enrollment, so a full picture of economic need and language support in the district is not available from the sources here.
State testing data was not available, so it is not possible to report on academic proficiency in the district or how it compares to other Los Angeles County districts. The district serves early elementary grades where state assessments do not yet apply.
One area where data was available is chronic absenteeism. The district's chronic absenteeism rate places it in the bottom quartile among Los Angeles County districts, meaning absenteeism is notably higher here than in most of the county's other districts. This is a pattern a parent may want to look into further with the school, both to understand what is happening and what support exists for families to maintain attendance.
The district spends per pupil at a level in the upper half of the range for Los Angeles County districts, suggesting resources are comparable to or above those of many peer districts in the county.
No recent parent-relevant changes to the district were confirmed, and the profile appears stable based on available enrollment and operational records.
