KIPP STRIVE ACADEMY

Kipp Strive Academy is a Title I public charter middle school that is part of the Atlanta Public Schools school district, located in Atlanta, GA with about 394 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 8th 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 27 teachers, Kipp Strive Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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 Strive Academy is a tuition-free, open-enrollment public charter middle school located in the historic West End neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia. Serving students in grades 5 through 8, the school is part of the national KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) network, which is dedicated to preparing students in underserved communities for success in college and professional life. The school operates on a model that emphasizes high academic expectations, extended school hours, and a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum designed to close the achievement gap.

Beyond core academics, Kipp Strive Academy is known for its strong focus on character development and community culture. The school cultivates an environment built on its core values—often referred to as the "STRIVE" values—which encourage students to take ownership of their learning and personal growth. By blending intensive classroom instruction with enrichment activities and a supportive school environment, KIPP STRIVE aims to empower its students to become self-advocates and lifelong learners who are prepared to navigate the challenges of high school and beyond.
