KIPP MINNESOTA CHARTER SCHOOL

KIPP MINNESOTA CHARTER SCHOOL is a Title I public charter middle school that is part of the KIPP MINNESOTA CHARTER SCHOOL school district, located in MINNEAPOLIS, MN with about 173 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 15 teachers, KIPP MINNESOTA CHARTER SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.
