Summary:
The KIPP St Louis Public Schools district operates 6 schools in the area, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. These schools serve a predominantly high-poverty student population, with all schools having a 100% free and reduced lunch rate.
Among the KIPP schools, KIPP Wisdom Academy stands out as a relative bright spot, with higher proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts compared to the other KIPP schools and the district and state averages. In contrast, the KIPP schools generally perform well below the state averages in academic proficiency, with most schools ranking in the bottom quartile of Missouri schools.
The data also reveals challenges at the high school level, with KIPP St. Louis High having a relatively low graduation rate of 69.1% and a high dropout rate of 10.9%. However, the high school performs better than the district average on end-of-course exams in Algebra I, Biology I, and English II. Overall, the KIPP St Louis Public Schools district faces significant challenges in providing high-quality education to its predominantly high-poverty student population, with some schools showing more promise than others.
