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 overall experience at Kipp has been okay. The diversity there is amazing. The majority are people of color, and it's just very representative of a multitude of cultures. My biggest critique of the school is the methods of punishment for students. The rules can be intense and overbearing at times, and they tend to punish the whole student body for the actions of a few. However, the education and school community are top-tier. I would allow my future kids to go here.

This school has been a great help in preparing the students for college and other career pathways. I believe this school has a good teacher to student ratio which helps teachers and students really connects. However, this school does lack the amount of realness of college work as they are very lenient when it comes to grades. This could be seen as a good thing but students get used to the practice of retaking test when in college thats not the case.

This school is a very lenient school always caring for its students and making sure everyone is doing alright. Classes are great and it is a great school overall. The school offers many types of electives. There is a lot of diversity throughout the school and they really try hard to have the students know their fellow students. The teachers are nice and always ask how people's days are. This school is preparing you for college since freshman year looking for the right jobs for you to help with applications during senior year. KIPP King also has a lot of clubs and sports for students that are incredibly fun for all and could even help in the future. The safety of the school is a top priority and they take many measures to make sure the school is safe. The Admin is always helping you and making sure you are always being helped with all your needs. The food is not at all like other schools they are always serving a wide variety of healthy meals for all.

Before you read this, I know you probably think I’m just another student that has always despised school, but hear me out. They preach about equality but tolerate racism, sexism, and disrespect. This school expects way too much from students. We’re back in the middle of a pandemic and all we do is s...

He gets a lot of support from his teacher and they are helpful. sometime his teachers call me or text me to tell me that my son is doing very well.

At first I hated this school, but now I love it. The classes have an average of around 20 students, where the teachers care about us. At first the long hours at Summit, then King was the one thing I could not stand. As time went by I stayed longer after school just because I wanted to.This school ye...

I actually happened upon these reviews when I was googling King's phone number and I must say that I strongly disagree with some of the negative reviews here. To the parent who said that King and Summit are a nuisance to the community because they cause traffic congestion, the fact that most student...
