KIPP INTREPID PREPARATORY SCHOOL

KIPP INTREPID PREPARATORY SCHOOL is a Title I public charter middle school with about 408 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 20 teachers, KIPP INTREPID PREPARATORY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. 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 INTREPID PREPARATORY SCHOOL is a public charter school located in the Lawndale neighborhood of Houston, Texas, serving students in grades 5 through 8. As part of the national KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) network, the school is founded on the core belief that every child, regardless of their background, can achieve academic excellence and succeed in college and beyond. The campus emphasizes a rigorous academic curriculum, extended school hours, and a highly structured environment designed to prepare middle schoolers for the demands of high school and higher education.

Beyond traditional academics, KIPP Intrepid focuses heavily on character development and the cultivation of strong school culture. The school actively promotes values such as grit, curiosity, and community, encouraging students to take ownership of their learning. By fostering close-knit relationships between teachers, students, and families, the school aims to provide a supportive atmosphere where students feel empowered to pursue their goals while developing the leadership skills necessary to positively impact their local Houston community.
