“I was a student at KIPP from 6th to 8th grade and graduated from there with a lot of knowledge but also with a lot of other things like common sense (which I think is something that a lot of teenagers lack now-a-days). Personally I'm glad that i went to KIPP because not only am i doing great in school, I also know how to organize my self and attained other qualities that are needed in the future. A lot of my current friends (that didn't attend KIPP) had issues with time and organization the first two years of high school (i attend Liberal Arts and Science Academy). The stress of homework and academics at KIPP is a great way to show kids at a young age what it's like to BE in college. They show them a glimpse of life as a college student and as an adult.It's a great.”

“The students do work very hard there at the school, but it's very over bearing. The teachers lack communication with one another, no matter how many times it's brought to their attention that the children are feeling over whelmed by the amounts of homework. The principal feel he's correct on everything. There parent/teacher meeting is pointless they very seldom listen to any of the parents inputs. The teach kids this is the way life is if they want to get to college, but I ask.....is this the type of school they attended to get them on the road to college?”

“My daughter is a sophomore(6th grade) at KACP and she is really excelling. Not only did you pass both TAKS tests but she received a 'commended' score in math! I really feel that this wouldn't have been possible in a public school in our neighborhood. I really hope they are able to add a highschool to the campus before her final year.”

“I would have to say that KIPP Austin College Prep is the home of the hardest working students in Austin,Texas. This school is on a 200-acre campus where they have a hiking trail and an extensive P.E. that not only teaches the students about running and things like that but it also gets the students informed about nutrition. Their students are already taking Algebra 1 in the 8th grade class and take the Algebra II Honors in the 9th grade. They have students in some of the most excellent high schools around Austin and around the country. They have students in Phillips Exeter Academy, Cate School, St. Stephen's Episcopal School, St. Andrew's Episcopal School and many more. KIPP Austin even plans to make their own high Shcool on their campus. This school could be opening up in 2008. KIPP ACP is an excellent school that I would recommend to anyone.”

“It is an excellent school. I highly recommed the school to parents who want their kids to be responsible and excell in the future. The curriculum is hard but the school has high expectations for the students. My daugher was very proud of herself when she received her first report card. She knew the work was hard and the days long, but she rose to the occasion and that put a huge grin on her face and mine. The encourage parent involvement and the kids repond to the parental involvement. Make a site visit to the school and the first thing that gets your attention is how well behaved the students are. They are big on personnal responsibility and there moto is 'No Excuses.' The teachers carry cell phones and can be reached in the evening to help your student with their homework. More schools schould be like KIPP!!!!”
