Early comments

This article includes verbatim copy from the Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP) website, and reads like a press release from KIPP. Revisions are needed.

Criticism section is not referenced at all. It is very random. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.249.196.248 (talk) 12:59, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Indeed, the last few sentences look like they were added by one of the kids that failed out. 145.116.8.150 (talk) 07:34, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

I've added a few minor revisions, but more are necessary. KIPP is in the process of developing elementary and high schools, and some of the language in the article does not apply to the new schools. Moreover, the "Outside Comment" section only includes positive commentary, but there are a number of scholars and activists who are critical of KIPP's efforts. I will begin collecting additional praise and criticism, and I will edit as I collect these pieces. Dougieperc 21:52, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Dougieperc, and I agree with the autosign above. It might need more than an update, this article needs to be rewritten in a neutral tone. It gives a positive slant to KIPP throughout. I'm going to move overview below operating principles, and see if there's anything I can add to overview. -PVSpud! 13:58, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Unsourced or inadequately sourced content

I'm removing content that isn't sourced, has deadlinks, or references KIPP's own publications. This should not return to mainspace until adequate sourcing is found.

In 1995, they opened two KIPP middle schools, one in Houston and one in New York City. Both schools were among the highest-performing schools in their communities by 1999.

Operating principles=

More than 95% of KIPP students are African American or Latino/Hispanic; more than 88% are eligible for the federally subsidized meal program. Students are accepted regardless of prior academic record, conduct, or socioeconomic background. Eleven percent of students at KIPP Public Schools receive special education services and 17% are designated as English Language Learners (ELL).

Established in 2000 with a $15 million grant from the Fishers, the nonprofit KIPP Foundation recruits, trains, and supports teachers in opening and leading high-performing college-preparatory public schools in educationally underserved communities. The foundation helps secure facilities and operating contracts while training school leaders through a yearlong fellowship called "Fisher Fellows", which includes a program of coursework, residencies at other KIPP Schools, and support from KIPP staff.

As of the 2018–2019 school year, KIPP's national college completion rate for its alumni was 34 percent. This is comparable to the national average for all students and approximately three times the national average for students from low-income families (about 11 percent). Another 5 percent earned an associate degree.

For students who graduated from KIPP high schools, 43 percent earned a bachelor's degree and another 6 percent earned an associate degree.

Through the KIPP Forward program, counselors support students beyond high school graduation to prepare for college and later careers. They assist KIPP alumni in navigating social, academic and financial challenges. KIPP has partnered with other foundations and organizations to offer scholarships to alumni to defray the costs of college and provide mentorship and internship/job placement assistance.

During the school year, KIPP students can earn trips such as visits to colleges and ice-skating. At the end of the school year, the students can attend an end of the school year field trip. For example, KIPP Academy Middle School in Houston, Texas, sends sixth graders to Utah and eighth graders to Washington, D.C., while fifth and seventh graders take a smaller trip within Texas.

• Some schools may be physically located on the same campus but are differentiated as Primary or Middle schools

A report published in April 2011 projects that KIPP students who graduate from college will increase from over 6,000 in 2014, to over 7,500 in 2015, to about 10,500 in 2016.

A report published in June 2013 found that students enrolled in KIPP were mostly economically disadvantaged students.
