Summary:
Kairos Academies is the sole middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Kairos Academies district located in Saint Louis, Missouri. With a total enrollment of 286 students, the school's performance and characteristics raise significant concerns.
Kairos Academies has a low statewide ranking, placing between 235th and 367th out of 451-459 Missouri middle schools over the past 3 school years. The school's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 6.2% to 34.2% compared to state averages of 40.6% to 44.4%. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 47.9%, which may be contributing to its low academic performance.
Despite the school's struggles, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 5.9 students per teacher and high per-student spending of $14,259 for the 2021-2022 school year. This raises questions about how the school is allocating its resources and whether they are being used effectively to support student learning. Overall, the data suggests that Kairos Academies is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students and may need to implement comprehensive improvement strategies to address these issues.
