KIPP ACADEMY MIDDLE SCHOOL

KIPP ACADEMY MIDDLE is a Title I public charter middle school with about 420 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 23 teachers, KIPP ACADEMY MIDDLE has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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 ACADEMY MIDDLE is a prominent open-enrollment public charter school located in the Sharpstown area of Houston, Texas. As the founding school of the KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) network, which began in 1994, it holds a significant place in the history of the national charter movement. The school serves a diverse student population in grades 5 through 8 and is widely recognized for its rigorous academic culture, extended school days, and a strong emphasis on preparing students for success in competitive high schools and, ultimately, college.

The school operates on the core belief that academic achievement is tied to character development and structured discipline. Students at KIPP Academy are immersed in a high-expectations environment that promotes a "college-preparatory" mindset from their first day on campus. By combining a demanding curriculum with personalized support and a mission-driven community, KIPP ACADEMY MIDDLE aims to bridge the educational opportunity gap for students in the Houston Independent School District, fostering both leadership skills and long-term academic resilience.
