KIPP DESTINY MIDDLE SCHOOL

KIPP DESTINY MIDDLE is a Title I public charter middle school with about 335 students offering grade levels from 6th 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 DESTINY MIDDLE has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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 DESTINY MIDDLE School, located on West Camp Wisdom Road in Dallas, is part of the KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) Texas Public Schools network, a nationally recognized system of high-performing, tuition-free, open-enrollment public charter schools. The school focuses on preparing students in underserved communities for success in college, career, and life by emphasizing academic rigor, character development, and a culture of high expectations. By extending the school day and providing a structured, supportive environment, KIPP Destiny aims to bridge the achievement gap and empower students with the skills necessary to excel in secondary education and beyond.

The school’s pedagogical approach is rooted in the "KIPP Five Pillars," which include high expectations, choice and commitment, more time on task, power to lead, and a focus on results.
