DescriptionKIPP Houston Public Schools include primary schools, middle schools, high schools, and the KIPP Through College alumni program and focus on academic and character development for underserved students in the Houston area. KIPP also operates two partner schools a primary/middle school with GISD and a middle school with the SKY partnership (SBID, YES Prep and KIPP). These partnerships also focus on academic and character development for underserved students in the Galveston and Spring Branch districts. All KIPP schools follow an extended school day and year model. The school day begins at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m. and includes an extra month of learning in the summer. All KIPP students, parents, and teachers sign a Commitment to Excellence pledge in which they commit to do whatever it takes for themselves and their teammates to learn and prepare for college. In Houston, approximately 9,300 students were enrolled in grades pre-kindergarten through 12th grade for the 2012-13 school year; 59% of those students self-identified as Hispanic, 36% as African-American, 3% as Caucasian, and 1% as Asian. 88% of 2012-13 students were eligible for the federal free and reduced meals program.KIPP Houston's early childhood and elementary schools nurture and guide the children's innate sense of curiosity to learn about their world, community, and themselves. KIPP Houston's middle schools focus on remediation in the early grades and advanced critical thinking skills in the later grades with outstanding results. The ultimate measurement of KIPP's success is graduation from college. Although 90% of KIPPsters come from economically disadvantaged families, 96% of KIPP Houston Public Schools students (tracking from the 8th grade) graduate from high school; and 91% have matriculated to a higher education institution. Once in college, KIPP alumni continue to defy the odds. 45% of alumni (tracking from 8th grade) who are old enough to have graduated, have graduated from college and another 34% are still persisting. This is a college graduation rate more than five times the graduation rate of comparable low-income students in our country.Description
