Summary

Kairos Academies is a public charter middle school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 257 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Kairos Academies district, which is ranked 349 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Kairos Academies consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 6.9% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 45.5%. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates range from 11.9% to 21.3%, significantly lower than the state averages of 39.3% to 44.3%. Kairos Academies also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 32.5% to 53.5% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Kairos Academies generally performs worse academically. For instance, Gateway Science Academy Middle, located about 2.86 miles away, consistently outperforms Kairos Academies in Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency rates. Additionally, Kairos Academies' performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American students and low-socioeconomic status students, is also concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom quarter of Missouri middle schools for these subgroups. Despite the relatively high spending per student, Kairos Academies appears to be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students.

Sounds good on paper but honestly, very unsafe school ! Drug use, assault, zero accountability or correction of this behavior. Teachers are inexperienced and admin only cares about tax dollars per head. Good teachers leave. Not a good school for neurodiverse kids bc the director of neurodiversity, Sam Orf, chooses when she wants to do her job and when called for accountability, she will absolutely cop out and blame everyone else for her incompetence and/or laziness. The unfortunate thing is, my daughter suffered tremendously under her care. BEWARE! If your kid is neurodiverse and or has an IEP, Do not send them here!!! This high school is a charter Roosevelt. I’m so disappointed and my daughter’s heart is broken. She was robbed of her education here! Close Quote
