KIPP Empower Academy: The state doesn't publish enough data to score this school fairly.

KIPP Empower Academy is an elementary school in Los Angeles. The state doesn't publish enough data to score it fairly — so we won't. Here's what we can show.

Charter school — publicly funded, independently operated, open enrollment via lottery. Learn more

No Scope Score available

California doesn't publicly report per-grade test results when fewer than 11 students are tested in a grade — a privacy protection for small schools. We can't compute a Scope Score without that data.

Worth a school visit

With little published data, a visit does the heavy lifting: ask about class sizes, teacher tenure, and where last year's students went next.
