KIPP WISDOM ACADEMY

KIPP WISDOM ACADEMY is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the KIPP ST LOUIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS school district, located in St. Louis, MO with about 421 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 3rd Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 20 teachers, KIPP WISDOM ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 21:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

KIPP WISDOM ACADEMY is a tuition-free, public charter elementary school located in the Benton Park West neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri.
