[quote=Anonymous]Hello, an AA single Mom here, son will entering PK3 in the fall...KIPP was #12 on my list because I have had the opportunity to observe several students who graduated from KIPP and I did not see them do very well at other High Schools. Yes, KIPP does believe that they are 'saving' the kids. My son doesn't need saving. They have saturday school and summer school, which isn't bad for some, but my son will be involved in other activities so that is not a fit for our family. I do not believe that KIPP teaches critical thinking skills, as I have witnessed from kids that I know. So, just look at what the needs of your family are...I make about $110K a year and if I don't get off the waitlists of my top choices my son will attend an independent school next year, as that was my back up plan.
