The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has just released its 2024 Annual Performance Report (APR), and we are thrilled to share that Kairos Academies is celebrating incredible strides in student growth!
Here's what sets us apart this year:
Incredible Growth in English and Science
Kairos students achieved 100% of their growth points in English/Language Arts and Science—well above the state averages of 62.45% and 62.28%, respectively.
KAHS is Leading the Pack
At Kairos Academies High School, students earned 100% of their growth points across all subjects—English, Math, and Science.
Based on performance scores, KAHS now ranks among the top four public high schools in St. Louis, even surpassing a district magnet school.
When excluding schools with selective admissions, KAHS ranks in the top two citywide!
These results show that Kairos students are not just meeting expectations—they’re exceeding them. Internal data backs this up: our average 5th grader starts two grades behind the national average in reading, while our average 10th grader is already two grades ahead.
What’s Next?
We know there’s always room to improve, and we’re committed to doing just that. As part of our 5-year strategic plan, we’re focused on supporting our teachers through a new coaching and development framework. These efforts are already leading to stronger lesson planning and better interventions for students who need extra support.
Why It Matters
Kairos is closing the gap with personalized, 1:1 support for every student. Together, we’re ensuring every Kairos graduate is ready to thrive in a fast-changing world.
This is a moment to celebrate our progress and the bright future ahead. Thank you for being part of the Kairos community—we couldn’t do this without your support!
