[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]09:31, it is nice to see posts from parents who actually have children in a KIPP school.  I'm friends with a KIPP teacher, but don't know much else beyond the wildly divergent accounts I read.[/quote]

I love the teachers [b]at [/b]KIPP. My child has had only amazing teachers at KIPP (we've been there 4 school years now) - and I've never requested a specific teacher. They are all absolutely fantastic, dedicated, and loving towards their students. Every single parent I know loves their child's teacher, and the faculty too.[/quote]

Sorry about the typo.

Keep in mind that there are 5 KIPP pre-k - 8 campuses (2 do not serve all grades yet because they were opened in the last 2 years), and one high school campus. That could be the reason for the varying accounts. My child is not at the oldest campus, but is at a more established campus. As all the campuses become established and serve all grades, kids who have "grown up" at KIPP will likely do much better because the curriculum will set those kids up to perform at a higher level in middle and high school. Right now the high school kids may have started in middle school, or may have started KIPP in high school. Now though, some of the middle schoolers started KIPP in early elementary which should make a difference at those campuses.

Also, KIPP serves more than 10% of the charter school kids in DC. They play a big role, and its only getting bigger as the 2 newest campuses grow into all the grades they will serve.[/quote]
