KIPP SCHOOL-VICTORY does not provide a structure and nurturing environment for disadvantaged students. Instead their policy is to retain low performance students despite their disabilities. Researchers have shown that KIPP only focus on students that thrive and have a high rate of disadvantage students that leaves their schools. For two years, KIPP has failed to provide any resources and discriminated against my grandchild who has a disability. The family had repeatedly asked for the school assistance in testing the child but they constantly lied stating that they were committed in given the student the resources needed. After two years of back and forth no resources were provided. Instead their solution was to as per policy to retain the student. St.Louis should not support a school that openly discriminated against disadvantaged students with disabilities . I find it strange that this school has a high rate of uncertified teachers. I also found out during our battled with the administration staff who took this matter personally that the teachers lesson plans are already made out. In other words, the teachers follow a script. Which confirms that they fail to provide a structure or nurturing learning environment to the students. The assistant principal gave my grandchild a certificate of COMPLETION and then a week later after he had an altercation with the parent sent an email stating that he was retain the student. Now, if you were retaining a student in the first place they should have never received a certificate of COMPLETION. Is there any one out there that can help us with this matter? Parents don't make the mistake we made in choosing KIPP. Please do your research read more
