District-Level NCES Analysis
Kipp Believe operates 1 public schools serving 767 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Louisiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Orleans Parish.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,047 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 188 Louisiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Louisiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 48.9% local, 27.2% state, and 23.9% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 69/100, ranked #27 of 176 in Louisiana against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 355:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 47.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.3% African American, 7.3% Hispanic or Latino, 0.8% White across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Kipp Believe, enrolling 710 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Kipp Believe accounts for 92.6% of all Kipp Believe student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Kipp Believe a distant remainder — means Kipp Believe-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Kipp Believe student-counselor ratio is 355:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Kipp Believe chronic absenteeism rate is 47.2% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
