KIPP supports continuing education for its staff and places an emphasis on retaining ethnically diverse teachers to create a joyful learning environment for its children.

KIPP administrators are ready to assist each student in meeting academic, social and financial challenges. Working with more than 95 colleges across the country, KIPP develops models for guiding first-generation college students toward success.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
