Summary:
The KIPP St Louis Public Schools district consists of 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving a predominantly African American student population facing significant socioeconomic challenges. While the district as a whole is ranked in the bottom 3% of Missouri districts, a few standout schools show potential strengths.
KIPP Wisdom Academy, an elementary school, has the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.4) among the district's schools, potentially indicating a more personalized learning environment. Additionally, KIPP Triumph Academy, a middle school, had the highest 8th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate (32%) compared to the other schools and district/state averages.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across all grade levels and schools, extremely high poverty rates (over 99% free/reduced lunch), and a lack of racial diversity. The district's overall ranking in the bottom 3% of Missouri districts suggests that substantial improvements are needed to better serve the students in this community.
