Summary:
The 63118 zip code area of St. Louis, Missouri is home to two middle schools: Kairos Academies and Carnahan Middle. Both schools serve predominantly low-income student populations, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.
Academically, neither school stands out as a top performer. Kairos Academies has a statewide rank between 292-393 out of 438-459 Missouri middle schools, with a 1-2 star rating, while Carnahan Middle ranks even lower, between 415-441 out of 438-451 schools, with a 0 star rating. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates compared to state averages across Math, Science, and English Language Arts assessments.
Attendance is also a major concern, with both schools experiencing chronic absenteeism rates near 50%, well above the state average. Despite the higher per-student spending at Kairos Academies, the academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that simply allocating more funding may not be the sole solution. Addressing the root causes of these challenges, such as resource allocation, instructional quality, and student support, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes in these Kairos Academies and St. Louis City middle schools.
