Middle Schools in KIPP St Louis Public Schools

Summary:

The KIPP St Louis Public Schools district operates two middle schools, KIPP Inspire Academy and KIPP Triumph Academy, both of which serve students in grades 5-8. These schools have consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, ranking in the bottom half of Missouri middle schools according to the SchoolDigger rankings.

Both KIPP Inspire Academy and KIPP Triumph Academy have student populations that are overwhelmingly African American, with KIPP Inspire at 94.51% and KIPP Triumph at 98.93%. Academically, the schools struggle significantly, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts well below state and district averages. For example, in 8th grade Mathematics, KIPP Inspire Academy had only 13.3% of students proficient or better, compared to 30% statewide and 15.7% for the KIPP St. Louis Public Schools district.

Despite the high levels of funding per student and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools continue to underperform. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the schools' challenges. The consistently low performance of these KIPP schools, which are part of a national network of high-performing charter schools, may indicate broader systemic issues within the KIPP St. Louis Public Schools district or the education system serving this community.
