KIPP DELTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS operates 5 public schools serving 1,224 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Arkansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other, 1 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,231 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Phillips County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,904 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 4.3% local, 60.3% state, and 35.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. The district's equity score — 78/100, ranked #12 of 250 in Arkansas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 191.3:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 19.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 89.7% African American, 4.2% White, 3.9% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Kipp Delta Elementary Literacy Academy accounts for 37.6% of all KIPP DELTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means KIPP DELTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
KIPP DELTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS school enrollment varies 3.5× across entities
KIPP DELTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS school enrollment ranges from 132 students (lowest) to 463 students (highest), a spread of 331 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio — most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
KIPP DELTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 100.0% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
KIPP DELTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS student-counselor ratio is 191:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
KIPP DELTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS chronic absenteeism rate is 19.3% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within KIPP DELTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS is typically wider than the KIPP DELTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS-aggregate figure suggests.
