I am so disappointed with my experience at the school. I was whats the filled with anticipation and excitement for my kids to have the opportunity to attend Kipp. Unfortunately since day one it is been a nightmare. The teachers are unprofessional and rude. The principles and other staff as well. I have twin fifth graders at the school will take the same classes but have different homework. The weekly progress reports that were promised were inconsistent. But most the portly a worst of all my daughter has been bullied. She notified several teachers and the principal to no avail. I had a conversation one-on-one with the principal and was told my complaint will only be respected if put in writing. Imagine my shock to know that my daughter was being physically and verbally abused and the teachers could care less.

Yesterday was a terrible day for me. A kid from my grade bullied me he called me short since 5th grade u was bullied and no one did anything my mother helped and get my self confidence and has told me that the most important thing is what’s in your head not how you look in this occasion I didn’t stay quite I answered back Ms.Watts heard what he told me and what I told him and when I told him she told me come and told me to sit down in front of 6 other people I quote “You know better than this” she said I answered “he called me short” she answered “YOU ARE SHORT”.Everyone as differs anyone that sees something different from you gets to laugh at you any time and I have to stay quite and accept it!! That’s what Ms.Watts thinksMy mother told me this is my last year here.There is some good teachers but I will leave as soon as I canAnd now I wish I can put 0 ZERO stars on this

Let me tell u from a student perspective. I went there from 6 to 8 and I graduated last month. The pros of the school is that there are some nice staffs and there are some staffs that u will love like the p.e teacher I like her and the 8th grade math teacher is nice. The cons of this school is that the place where we play is a parking lot an that the the hallways are small so for when we transition to class it’s like we are all squished together In one small hallway and there are two grade levels for each floor so imagine all of us trying to transition to class with a lot of kids and with hardly any staff. Another thing is that the principal last year was horrible but this year principal is a really good principal he cares about the student unlike the principal before.

I substitute taught there and its a great school. Teachers & staff go overboard for their students and parents are intimately involved. Its feels like a private school experience in a public school.

From actually graduating from this school, It was actually a pretty good school. The teachers i had were loving, caring, kind, smart and strict. Thats all you can ask for in a teacher

I am a student myself and Im in the 7th grade. The school helps us get ready for college. The teachers are really good at teaching. And there is zero tolerance of fighting .

No joke! This isnt just a student hating on the school I am a 7th grader. Not only is the location bad but you have kindergarteners seeing prostitutes on the corner. 99% of the students curse but the teachers curse as well. This school overall is horrible and you can fond a way better school for your child than this.

Great School!!! My son was apart of KEA from Kinder to 4th and I loved every moment. Really great teachers and staff. Even if there was an issue I never felt that my childs feelings or opinion didnt matter. I highly recommend

Review №14

I used to go this school and the only reason I miss it is because of my friends. Other than that the staff was bad and I was constantly bullied by a teacher and a group of girls. Most kids at the school thought I was weird because I didnt act like them and I really didnt have much friends. The environment at the school was really stressful so usually I felt alone. The kids would go to places the teacher couldnt see them and touch each other. The Bible websites are restricted on computers but not porn. Fights constantly happening, and bullying. One teacher (doesnt work there anymore) cursed at the whole class and was extremely rude to my mother. Another time my friend walked into school with a sad expression on her face and the school consular (sorry for spelling errors) reported it as child abuse was going on in the home. It was a really hard time for my friends family( by the works of God they were able to stick together). The only reason I gave this school 2 stars was because of the writing skills that I learned in 6th grade. They have really helped me over the years. This school also caught me up on reading and the art teacher is a wonderful person.All in all, dont send your kids to this school unless its your only choice.

I love KAO. From the first day of 6th grade, Ive felt like me and my kid are part of a team and a family as they say at KIPP. The school has been so good about helping my daughter learn. Her old school - they never noticed her. My daughters a quiet girl whod get brushed to the side. At KIPP, she is so happy! The school is about good character, not just test scores like a lot of other schools. This school is the kind of place our community needs!

Great School! Im so glad my Son has this opportunity. I cant say enough good things about it. My Son didnt want to leave his friends at his previous school last Sept but now he hates it when he sick and has to miss a day at KIPP. My Son has a IEP and wasnt doing grade level work at his previous school. My Son still has his IEP. However.. hes stayed on the top 10 Earners out of 5th grade class since Septembe!. Hes doing grade level work and he loves school. I often ask my Son if he had a choice would he go back to the old school he says No! now I dont have to feel stupid I had no idea he felt that way at the other school. But Im glad hes no longer feeling like that and hes excited about going to school even with the longer school hours. I have every Teachers cell number and email address. I can call his Teacher up to 8PM at night to ask questions if needed regarding home work. Everything Ive requested from them regarding my Sons IEP theyve provided with no problems, no delays! I just cant say enough good things about this school. After school care , enrichment classes acting, dancing etc, study hall to help with home work during school hours & a home work after school class at no addational cost! & much more!

I give this school a one star rating just because it’s horrible even know they have discipline/rules the some staff members have really bad attitudes and the rules they have towards the school are not followed they do what they want but it wouldn’t be a good idea to send a child there because if they were to get in trouble over some really dumb stuff they would do something that’s not necessary to however big or small the situation is
