KIPP North Philadelphia CS

Located at 2539 N. 16th Street in the heart of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, KIPP North Philadelphia CS operates as an open, independent charter district nestled within a large city setting. Serving as its own local education agency within the greater Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington metropolitan region, this single-campus district provides structured educational programming spanning from Kindergarten through 8th grade. The school currently serves a total enrollment of 683 students across its elementary and middle school grade levels, offering a focused and supportive academic foundation tailored to early childhood and adolescent development.

The district supports its student body with a substantial staffing model totaling 148 full-time equivalent (FTE) professionals. This dedicated team includes 100 FTE classroom teachers, 2 instructional aides, and 46 support staff members, culminating in an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of roughly seven students per educator. Student enrollment reflects a dynamic local community—comprising 377 male and 306 female students, primarily representing Black, Hispanic, and multiracial backgrounds—that benefits from small class sizes, targeted instruction, and comprehensive wrap-around services designed to foster long-term academic growth.
