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.

There is a serious lack of compassion in KIPP's school culture. A majority of students are suffering from mental illness or substance abuse issues, however, the administration does little to nothing about it. It is also incredibly hard to pass a class at KIPP because the school doesn't grade using D's.
