FAQ

At KIPP, we are committed to sharing the results of our schools, regions, and national network. Through the KIPP studies and independent reports provided in this section, we demonstrate our commitment to performance transparency.

KIPP Healthy Schools & Regions

Healthy Schools & Regions, launched in 2008, provides the KIPP network with a common, aligned, network-wide language for defining a strong and healthy KIPP school, beyond state test scores.

Healthy Schools & Regions was designed to measure both the academic and non-academic factors that we believe matter most to school health. We look at a comprehensive set of quantifiable indicators of success such as college attainment, student attendance, student attrition, teacher retention, and the number of teachers preparing to assume leadership roles. Beyond outcome measures, we also survey students, parents, and teachers to understand more deeply how each school’s culture, school leadership, and instructional strategies impact results.

Ultimately, Healthy Schools & Regions empowers leaders to push beyond the trap of defining school success by a single measure, and instead, to view school health holistically from academic and nonacademic vantage points.

Annual Report Card

Each year, we reflect on the data generated through Healthy Schools & Regions by asking ourselves six essential questions:

1. Are we serving the children who need us? 
2. Are our students staying with us?
3. Are KIPP students progressing and achieving academically?
4. Are KIPP alumni climbing the mountain to and through college?
5. Are we building a sustainable people model? 
6. Are we building a sustainable financial model?

The process by which we answer these questions and our findings ensure that we keep our focus on the promises we make to each and every child.  Our latest data on these questions is available in the 2010 KIPP Report Card. Click below to see our 2010 Results Infographic.
