Company Description
Organization Overview
KIPP is a national network of free, open-enrollment,
college-preparatory public schools in under-resourced communities
throughout the United States. There are currently 200 locally-run
KIPP schools in 20 states and Washington, DC, and nationally KIPP
serves approximately 80,000 students. More than 80 percent of KIPP
students come from low-income households, and more than 95 percent
are African American or Hispanic/Latino. Through high expectations
for students and staff, world-class teachers and principals, more
time in school, autonomy over budget and curriculum, and a focus on
results, KIPP schools prepare traditionally underserved students
for success in college and in life. KIPP schools have been widely
recognized for their success in doing so, and today nearly 85% of
KIPP alumni nationally have matriculated to college.
All KIPP schools share a core set of operating principles, known as
the Five Pillars, that KIPP believes help to lay the foundation for
students to perform at the highest academic levels: High
Expectations, Choice & Commitment, More Time, Power to Lead, and a
Focus on Results.
KIPP Minnesota Overview
Who we are: KIPP Minnesota Schools is a network of high-performing
college-preparatory public charter schools. Next year, we will
serve over 700 students in grades K through 2 and grades 5 through
8 at two co-located schools (primary and middle) in north
Minneapolis. KIPP Minnesota Schools is a fast-growing,
entrepreneurial organization with significant growth plans in the
coming years.
What we do: We do whatever it takes to help our students develop
knowledge, skills, and strong character. We work relentlessly so
that every one of our students has the opportunity to attend
college and has access to the life of choice and opportunity that
college provides. The KIPP Minnesota Regional Team supports our
schools, school leaders/ principals, and staff through
organizational and academic alignment, business management,
strategic planning, and back office functions.
How we do it: There are no shortcuts to success. Outstanding
educators, rigorous lessons, more time in school, and strong school
culture support our students as they climb the mountain to college.
We work as a team, use data, and constantly reflect to improve our
practice. We believe all of our KIPPsters can make it to and
through college and we stay with them every step of the way.
Why it matters: In our communities, approximately 1 in 10 students
earn a college degree. We believe that this is unjust and
unacceptable and, most importantly, can be changed. Nationwide,
over 85% of KIPP middle school alums matriculate to college.
