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 DC College Preparatory was a great experience. The teachers were fun to learn from and the school was very resourceful. When kids spoke out on concerns they would address the concerns. You could talk to the teachers to receive help you need whether it was inside of the school or at home. During the pandemic the school made sure everyone was safe and followed all protocols to keep the students and staff safe. KIPP help prepare students for college and make sure that you have a plane before graduating.

One thing I liked about KIPP DC College Prep was the activities. Before the global pandemic, the football games were always amusing and entertaining, the basketball games were better. Although there's a mix of skillful and compelling teachers, others were adverse and unpleasant. The security was adequate, but the food was satisfactory.
