Results of KIPP Schools
At KIPP, we are committed to transparently reporting and openly sharing the results and achievement of all KIPP schools—ensuring we continue to achieve quality as we grow our network. KIPP evaluates and reports student outcomes through the following:
- Annual Report Card – Each year, we produce the KIPP Report Card and distribute it to thousands of friends, stakeholders, and interested contacts and publish it on the KIPP website; the Report Card provides demographic information and student achievement results for KIPP schools on both state and national exams.

- Independent Studies (External) – KIPP has been the subject of five independent reports that focus on how KIPP schools impact student achievement. With support from The Atlantic Philanthropies and the Arnold Family Foundation, we recently embarked on a five-year longitudinal study with national policy research firm Mathematica, Inc.

- Student Mobility at KIPP – KIPP is committed to understanding mobility patterns at our schools. Through data collection efforts undertaken over the past year, we have gained new insights into student mobility trends at KIPP. Learn more...
- School Reviews (Internal) – KIPP schools conduct annual school reviews to assess student achievement results. To augment these reviews, KIPP is piloting the Healthy Schools Initiative, an internal evaluation effort to measure overall school health, including areas such as student outcomes, leadership, and teaching.
National Results Highlights
The results of each of our individual schools can be found in the most recent 2008 KIPP Report Card; the following summarizes KIPP’s results on a national scale:
| The Starting Point |
The KIPP Effect |
| Many students begin KIPP in the fifth grade at least one grade level—and in many cases two or more—behind their peers in reading and math. |
After four years at KIPP, 100 percent of KIPP eighth grade classes outperformed their district averages in both mathematics and reading/English language arts, based on state tests. |
| The average KIPP student who stays with KIPP for four years starts fifth grade at the 41st percentile in mathematics and the 31st percentile in reading. |
After four years at KIPP, these same students are performing at the 80th percentile in math and the 58th percentile in reading, based on national norm-referenced tests. |
| Less than 20 percent of low-income students go to college nationwide. |
Nationally, more than 85 percent of KIPP students from the original two KIPP Academies are matriculating to college.
In addition, nearly 95 percent of KIPP students matriculated to college-preparatory high schools in 2008—and have earned millions of dollars in scholarships and need-based financial aid since 2000.
