KIPP St. Louis reviews

Favoritism is the only way for you to move up within the school, so try to become a favorite. Bad behavior is rewarded and there are no boundaries put in place. No clear rules on feedback, I taught in the classroom for a year and never received useful feedback.

- Negligent leadership that does not respond to feedback and plays favorites - Overworked and underpaid teachers - The merit-demerit system that teachers are forced to use makes the school feel like a prison - Toxic workplace culture created by teachers who think they are better than the rest - The amount of time for prep during the school day is pitiful - DEI sessions are poorly implemented to the point of being counterproductive - The organization's mentality around diversity is exclusionary and purely performative - Teachers are regularly verbally abused by students - Many teachers quit this year because of how terrible the support and workplace environment is
