Summary:
The KIPP St Louis Public Schools district operates a single high school, KIPP St. Louis High, which serves students in grades 9-12. Located in St. Louis, Missouri, the school has consistently struggled with low academic performance, ranking in the bottom quartile of Missouri high schools for the past three years.
KIPP St. Louis High's student population is predominantly African American (94.56%) and has a very high percentage of students (99.42%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are extremely low, ranging from just 2.3% in Algebra I to 16.2% in English II, compared to the state averages of 41.5% and 54.4%, respectively. Despite the school's academic struggles, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 to 1, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning.
Overall, the data suggests that KIPP St. Louis High is a struggling school that faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes. The high concentration of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor to the school's persistent underperformance on state assessments, and further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes and develop targeted interventions to support student success.
