This is my daughters 4th and final year at KIPP and it will be so sad when she has to leave. She has come so far since being there, she went from being 'far below basic' to 'advance'.

KIPP is an outstanding school, and it has an outstanding staff! I was set to put my daughter in a different school, but had read and heard wonderful things about KIPP. One of the best decisions I've ever made! KIPP's motto is ' Work hard, be nice', and that is exactly what the students and teachers do
... Read more here. Middle school can be a difficult, transitional time. KIPP instills the values of a strong work ethic and self-pride in the children, so badly needed for them to be successful in high school, college and beyond. Everyone in the school community works hard together, and they support one another. My daughter is happy, thriving, and setting goals for herself - at the age of 12! She enjoys her classes, loves her teachers, and has made some wonderful friends at KIPP. KIPP quietly does what it need to do. Go Bulldogs! Read less

Before going to Kipp, my daughter was bored at school in the SFUSD - simply not challenging enough for her. At Kipp, she's learning a lot and loving it. I'm happy that she's finally learning what she needs to learn to do well. Perhaps the school could add a mid-morning recess so the children have more

My daughter stared out struggling, thanks to the 'No Child Left Behind Act', she was so far behind being pushed through the system. We enrolled her at KIPP a bit reluctant at first, but it turned out to be a Blessing... She is making the 'grade', and most importantly she is getting it! My oldest

We are in the process of the enrollment with my oldest child. KIPP is a positive school, and great leadership & vocational training you just won't get from a private or traditional school. If you want you child to be supported daily, encouraged they can go to college. The teachers are alway on-top of things, and there level of communication with us is amazing. Thank you KIPP!
