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.

My experience at KIPP DuBois Collegiate Academy was very amazing. I have experienced so much help from a lot of teachers and other staff members that want to see me succeed in life. Additionally, my learning experience was very great because there were so many teachers who wanted to see my mind develop and they push me to go above and beyond. Moreover, KIPP is a great school because they make you feel as if you were apart of there family forever.

KIPP really prepares you for college. They start off 9th grade with research papers and classes to prepare you for college. As a junior, KIPP helps get the students ready for college by working on resumes, writing personal statements, teaching us how to look for scholarships and applying to them.

They have something called "enrichment" so extracurricular activities are always available after school.

The teaching staff here works really hard. Really hard. They're all professional and kind and they really care. The kids are nuts and run the show. The admin stresses that students are not to be kicked out. Yes...99% of kids should not be kicked out...but some should. The ones who disrupt every minu...
