BOARD OF DIRECTORS 137

Schools listed in light grey opened in fall 2011, and do not yet have school results to report.


letter from the chairman of the board and ceo In just over a decade, KIPP has grown from two middle schools in Houston and New York City to 109 public charter schools in 20 states and Washington, D.C. While we have expanded dramatically, KIPP’s mission is unchanged: to create a respected, influential, and national network of public schools that are successful in helping students from underserved communities develop the knowledge, skills, character, and habits needed to succeed in college and the competitive world beyond. We are proud to present KIPP’s 2011 Report Card. KIPP’s Report Card assesses our progress toward our mission and provides up-to-date answers to the Six Essential Questions we ask to gauge our network’s health:

This is hard work. Since our earliest days, we have made it clear to the children we serve, our KIPPsters, that there are no shortcuts. And our KIPPsters have demonstrated through their desire and discipline that students from underserved communities can achieve at levels few thought possible 20 years ago. Their accomplishments have inspired many. Thanks in part to their efforts, thousands of committed educators across the country have been moved to open life-changing schools in our most underresourced communities. And all of us at KIPP can learn from these new schools and other exceptional schools, even as we continue to share what we are learning.

As we have traveled the country this year, we have been inspired by what we see unfolding in communities such as New Orleans, New York, and Washington, D.C. We have met civic leaders in Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, and St. Louis who are determined to 1. Are we serving the children who need us? create and support great schools. At the same time, we recognize 2. Are our students staying with us? that we have a long way to go. We try to keep this important work 3. Are KIPP students progressing and achieving academically? 4. Are KIPP alumni climbing the mountain to and through college? simple by asking ourselves two questions at every stop we make: 5. Are we building a sustainable people model? How many children in this community go to a school that is 6. Are we building a sustainable financial model? preparing them for a life of options in a competitive world? Is that number greater this year than it was last year? What you read in the pages that follow is only possible thanks to outstanding, dedicated school leaders and teachers By reading this report, you honor the tireless efforts of our who are supported by effective systems. KIPP educators teachers, leaders, and staff who are delivering on the promises assume responsibility for our students’ long-term success. we make to our KIPPsters each year. Thank you, to all of you, who We continue that commitment by tracking and reporting how are making it possible for more children in more communities to both our students and alumni are performing. And we learn attend a great public school—you are helping to build a better from and share that data, enabling us to get better as we get tomorrow. bigger. Growing our network has only strengthened our conviction that there is no perfect school model. Rather, we have learned that realizing our mission means continually adapting to better serve our students. It means understanding the factors, such as great leadership and great teaching, which contribute to the success of our schools and network.

John Fisher Chairman of the Board KIPP Foundation

Richard Barth Chief Executive Officer KIPP Foundation


KIPP began in 1994 with a powerful idea: to create a classroom that helped children develop the knowledge, skills, character, and habits necessary to succeed in college and build a better tomorrow for their communities. Founders Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin began by redefining what was possible for a classroom of public school students in Houston. The following year, they opened two KIPP middle schools, one in Houston and one in New York City. By 1999, these original KIPP charter schools were among the highest-performing schools in their respective communities. In 2000, Mike and Dave formed a partnership with Doris and Donald Fisher, co-founders of Gap Inc., to train leaders to replicate the success of the original KIPP middle schools. As KIPP opened new schools in more cities, expanding from middle schools to elementary and high schools, our network began helping transform tomorrows for thousands of children and families in underserved communities. Now, others are joining our journey, sharing in our commitment to build a better tomorrow. As our network grows along with the broader movement to transform children’s lives and public education, our impact also grows; thus, more students, more families, more communities, and ultimately our nation, have a brighter future ahead.


LEARNING

for a better tomorrow

In

underserved communities across the country, KIPP teachers and leaders work every day to help our students build a better tomorrow by preparing them for a life of choices: which college to attend, which career path to pursue, and how to contribute to their communities. In the classroom, teachers motivate our KIPPsters to learn and grow more than they ever thought possible, to develop their character strengths, and to provide encouragement to their fellow students. At KIPP, we focus not just on learning, but also on integrating character development into everyday lessons to help students prepare for the challenges of college and life. Developing character strengths like zest, grit, and optimism is a key part of KIPP’s college-preparatory approach. In addition to the lessons students learn in the classroom, they are also learning life skills through the KIPP Through College (KTC) program.

KTC counselors help to bridge students’ transition from middle to high school and also from high school to college. They help each student select a college that is a good fit, become socially and academically integrated after they enroll, and navigate the hurdles they face earning a degree. At KIPP, we believe every child can and will learn when provided a high-quality education. That’s why we count success one student at a time and measure their progress all the way to and through college.

melanie, kipp la Excelling in school wasn’t always simple for Melanie. Although she now attends the Stevenson School in Pebble Beach, she grew up in South Central Los Angeles where she shared a room with her mother without quiet space for homework. Amidst a lively household of family and visiting friends, she battled distractions trying to study. Attending KIPP Los Angeles College Preparatory School helped her to focus— on her assignments and her education. This drive led Melanie to seek tutoring from her teacher when adding and subtracting fractions stumped her in fifth grade. Melanie, now a Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholar, embraces challenge, whether it’s cheerleading, playing soccer, or working to become an engineer or pediatrician. “When I get confused, I take a deep breath and tell myself, ‘Melanie, you can do this!’” she says.

jay guzman, kipp dc

“My son struggled before we joined the KIPP family. The teachers at KIPP DC: WILL Academy have empowered him; they are my allies in raising a smart, confident young man.” —Shanette Smith, KIPP parent

Jay relied on the support of his teachers and KIPP Through College counselors to progress through KIPP Academy Middle School in the South Bronx. Jay later graduated from the University of Delaware, the first in his family to earn a fouryear college degree. His academic achievements inspired his father to return to school. “I probably would not have made it this far if it wasn’t for KIPP,” said Jay, a founding kindergarten teacher at KIPP DC: Grow Academy. “They have been with me through tough times. That’s why I decided to come back—I want college to become a reality for every child in every neighborhood.”


brooklyn, kipp philadelphia In her first weeks as a fifth grader at KIPP West Philadelphia Preparatory Charter School, Brooklyn worried she couldn’t handle the work. Her mother pushed her to try; her teachers showed her they cared. Now, as a seventh grader, she can’t wait for school, where the day “flies by!” That’s because Brooklyn keeps busy, playing basketball, soaking up history (her favorite class), and representing KIPP West Philadelphia at a national student leadership summit. And she’s on her school’s honor roll. “I love school,” she said. KIPP is tough, she admits, but “it’s a lot of love and support.”


TEACHING

for a better tomorrow

ian willey, kipp nyc Ian teaches fifth grade writing at KIPP Infinity Middle School in Harlem, one of New York City’s highest performing public schools. But to his students, he’s more than a writing teacher. Ian is also the school’s resident hip-hop artist who spends evenings and weekends rapping about teaching and educational inequity. He brings that creativity into the classroom, incorporating the arts into writing lessons. “When there’s an excellent vibe in the classroom and you see smiles on all of the kids’ faces—that’s what every teacher wants, every day,” Ian says.


With rowena lesher, kipp philadelphia Rowena has brought her warmth and creativity to help found two KIPP elementary schools, one in New York City and the other in Philadelphia. A former Peace Corps educator in Paraguay, Rowena taught dual language classes in New York City before joining KIPP. Although the initial work was challenging, the freedom of building a school from the ground up—twice—was worth it. As Rowena explains: “The foundation we built together is something new teachers are going to learn from and make better.”

loretta mcbride, kipp bay area Dedicated to helping young people from underserved communities learn, Loretta established student orchestras at two KIPP schools in San Lorenzo and San Francisco. She connects her students with music scholarships. Her orchestra raised $420,000 for a new music building in a single performance. A grandmother of eight, she tirelessly seeks donations to provide every student with an instrument, and gives lessons outside class to ensure every student can read music. “Knowledge transforms a child’s life and gives them choices . . . educating a child is the greatest calling on earth,” she says of her job. The 39-year classroom veteran has also been an exemplary mathematics teacher. Her math classes posted some of the highest scores among KIPP Bay Area schools. She demands classrooms of 40 students so she can reach everyone—yet somehow modifies lessons to meet each student’s needs. Loretta wants to keep inspiring young people through music, helping them build a better tomorrow.

a passionate belief in every student’s unlimited potential, KIPP teachers are creating classrooms defined by high expectations. Our teachers approach their jobs with joy, zest, and humor; care about and listen to their students; take ownership of students’ success; and develop and deliver thoughtful, customized instruction. Our schools provide more time each day for challenging learning experiences and character development. Each school and region empowers its teachers to tailor lessons to their students’ learning needs. And KIPP teachers believe wholeheartedly in their responsibility to help their students realize a better tomorrow. We know, and research confirms, that an exceptional teacher is the single most important school factor contributing to a student’s education. KIPP teachers forge special relationships with their students and their students’ families, offering extra help and encouragement outside

the classroom to ensure every child learns. With the support of inspiring teachers, thousands of KIPP students are transforming their own futures. KIPP teachers not only support their students but also each other in their shared mission to help every student persevere to and through college. Bolstering KIPP’s culture of sharing at the local level and beyond is a powerful online collaboration platform, KIPP Share, powered by BetterLesson. With more than 2,000 users, this versatile platform helps teachers build a national community. Through both this online platform and in-person interactions, teachers can share successful strategies and curricula, brainstorm innovative lesson plans, and learn from colleagues’ collective experience. Our teachers have freedom in the classroom and can rely on the creativity and support of thousands of their KIPP colleagues. Because teachers at KIPP have the opportunity to grow and develop their practice, they are discovering new and better ways to help students learn.

“At KIPP, we engage in really meaningful professional development opportunities that empower our entire school, and all of our students, to grow with us.” —Nisha Wadhwani, Teacher, KIPP St. Louis

LEADING

for a better tomorrow

lolita jackson, kipp bay area As a San Jose public school teacher, Mrs. Jackson jumped at the chance to be a founding fifth-grade mathematics teacher at KIPP Heartwood Academy in 2004. There, she began the first math class of the year with the lights out, students’ eyes closed, and Star Wars music blaring. In that moment of inspiration, Mrs. Jackson told her students they were going to work hard and go to college. “Mrs. Jackson does things that nobody else can do,” said KIPP Bay Area Schools Chief Academic Officer Sehba Ali. Recognized as a leader, Mrs. Jackson became principal of KIPP Heartwood, and later, of KIPP Bridge Charter School. In her second year at KIPP Bridge, students’ state test scores skyrocketed past peers’ average scores statewide. In 2011, the school was named California’s Charter School of the Year by the California Charter School Association. “There are very few schools in the state closing the achievement gap the way we are,” Jackson said. “We are becoming a light in the West Oakland community.”


KIPP

has grown to 109 public charter schools; with each school that opens, we work to ensure that expectations are high and teaching is excellent, so students can pursue the life they choose. No two KIPP schools look exactly alike. KIPP school leaders make decisions to best serve the unique needs of their students and communities. Fundamental to KIPP’s ability to provide an outstanding education to our students is the development and support of leaders who are empowered to innovate.

A Commitment to Leadership In 2000, Doris and Donald Fisher partnered with Mike and Dave to establish the KIPP Foundation to train exceptional leaders from KIPP to open highperforming schools. The Fishers believed in KIPP’s mission from the beginning and created a legacy of leadership development, strengthening KIPP’s growth as well as that of other school networks. As a result, our world-class KIPP School Leadership Programs have cultivated, trained, and supported nearly 1,000 outstanding leaders across KIPP and other organizations to build a better tomorrow for students in the communities we serve.

Creating the Right Tools To develop outstanding school leaders, we created the research-based KIPP Leadership Competency Model (LCM), which defines skills critical to successful school leadership. The LCM is the cornerstone of KIPP’s national efforts to train, coach, and evaluate school leaders. Building upon the success of the LCM, this year, school and regional leaders developed and tested a new model called the KIPP Framework for Excellent Teaching (KFET) to define a vision for excellent teaching at KIPP. Leaders use the model to coach teachers, measure their performance, and help develop their skills. It also provides KIPP teachers, leaders, and coaches with a common language around the art and science of excellent instruction to aid sharing and help teachers refine their craft. This framework captures teaching competencies and behaviors—such as building relationships with students and families; creating a joyful classroom culture; and using student data to customize instruction—that lead to classroom breakthroughs. Supported by the framework, school leaders can guide teachers to create the dynamic learning environments that make a real difference in our students’ lives.

freddy gonzalez, kipp austin Freddy grew up in south Texas with four siblings. His father was a shrimper; no one in his family had attended college. When he arrived at Brown University, he wasn’t prepared. His academic challenges inspired him to pursue a career in education. “I don’t want kids to struggle,” Freddy says. “I want them to be the kid sitting in the front row … the kid who seems to know all the answers and has read all the books.” After earning a master’s degree in education, Freddy spotted an ad for KIPP Austin College Prep. “I’m proud to say, ‘I am a KIPP principal’— because this place is doing something to change the face of the world.”

sarah beth greenberg, kipp new orleans Sarah Beth began her career teaching kindergarten on an Indian reservation in New Mexico, where she coached football and founded a college success program. After completing the Fisher Fellowship, Sarah Beth founded a KIPP elementary school of “respectful revolutionaries” in New Orleans, a city that is itself rebuilding.

“I’m a true believer that school leadership is the best way to make an impact on the education system. We have the power to keep doing things better every single day.” —Korbin Johnson, School Leader, KIPP New Orleans

“It’s not just about the KIPP movement,” Sarah Beth says. “It’s about really turning around the educational landscape in New Orleans.” With her focus squarely on character, community, classroom rigor, and joy, she knows her kindergarten scholars, dubbed the class of 2028, will graduate college.

DESIGNING A SYSTEM OF SCHOOLS for a better tomorrow

At KIPP, all teachers and school leaders nationwide share the same goal: helping every student persevere to and through college. As our network has grown, and leaders across the country have committed to building high-quality schools, we have reflected on what makes a great system of schools. We believe any high-performing system of schools requires several integrated elements.


The focus must be on college graduation and success in life. Preparing our students to make it to and through college, not only to graduate high school, drives the work of our school leaders, teachers, and staff. KIPP’s 2011 College Completion Report (www.kipp.org /ccr) helped reframe the national conversation about college completion. The report called on other education organizations to track college graduation statistics, rather than high school graduation, college acceptance, and college enrollment alone. And it urged higher education institutions to commit to the success of underserved students—who, like all students, need more than good grades to make it to graduation day.

Outstanding leaders are critical to every school’s success. Great teachers are leaders in their classrooms; they do their best when they have the guidance and support of exemplary school leaders. A school leader recruits and mentors teachers, ensuring they are valued and continue to grow. And visionary leaders understand that their responsibility to students doesn’t end when they earn high school diplomas; they create schools that set every student up for success in college and the world beyond. KIPP School Leadership Programs guide leaders in developing schools that do this, and the federal i3 grant is helping us to develop more outstanding leaders both inside and outside of KIPP to lead high-quality schools around the country.

Both academics and character are critical to a college-prep education. To truly prepare for college,

A strong school network must foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement. That means

students need to develop their character strengths as much as they need rigorous academics. Great teaching with an emphasis on character helps our students discover and cultivate character strengths, such as grit and optimism, to succeed in college and in life. KIPP has emphasized character since the beginning. Over the course of the last several years, KIPP, in partnership with some of our nation’s leading psychologists and researchers, has begun a groundbreaking new initiative to deepen our approach to character development. The KIPP Character Report Card (www.kipp.org /character) offers teachers, parents, and students a common language to analyze and discuss the development of a diverse array of character strengths.

empowering leaders and teachers to innovate, creating a culture and platform to share ideas, and transparently measuring and reporting results. Tools such as the KIPP Framework for Excellent Teaching and KIPP Share support an organization-wide mindset of continuous learning. In this creative environment, novice and veteran KIPP educators can refine and improve their practice, critical to a school’s success. KIPP’s culture of embracing innovation, sharing, and measurement allows great ideas to be tested and to spread.

What you measure matters. Beyond test scores, we look at a holistic set of indicators of school health using KIPP’s Healthy Schools & Regions framework, which revolves around our Six Essential Questions. We continually ask ourselves these six questions to keep us focused on the student and school outcomes we believe are vital to helping our students succeed. Our passionate belief that what we measure matters has been essential to creating a system of high-performing schools. Our holistic approach to measuring the performance of our students, teachers, and schools is beginning to transform how others gauge school success.

We’ve discussed and shared these principles with other organizations to learn how to adapt them to different environments. These ideas capture key elements that help the KIPP network thrive—and we believe they can be adapted to help other systems of schools thrive. 9


IMPROVING EDUCATION

for a better tomorrow

How many children in each community go to a school that is preparing them for a life of options in a competitive world? Is that number greater this year than it was last year? In the U.S., only 11% of students from low-income communities graduate from college. All students deserve access to a high-quality education so they can succeed in college and the world beyond. At KIPP, we want to be part of the larger education solution, helping schools and districts provide students with transformative opportunities. We’re inspired to collaborate with cities across the country, such as those highlighted here.

10

Houston Few cities rival Houston’s school choice options. The city is home to both KIPP and YES Prep Public Schools, which will run a combined 30 schools by summer 2012—up from 3 schools a decade earlier. More students across Houston can now choose to attend schools that are committed to providing them a pathway to and through college. The Houston Independent School District launched the Apollo 20 program in 2011 to help improve 20 Houston public schools. Apollo 20 represents a major effort to adopt many of the core principles found at KIPP schools and other high-performing schools, including a longer school day and year, a focus on student results, empowered school leaders, and high expectations for every student. While the effort is still in the early stages, results so far are promising. While Apollo 20 was underway, KIPP Houston, YES Prep, and Spring Branch Independent School District (SBISD) launched the unique SKY Partnership, one of several district-charter compacts promoted by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to help more low-income students graduate college. The union between a traditional public school and two highperforming charter school networks will combine the technology and extracurricular resources of SBISD with the college-prep curriculum and leadership and teacher development tools of the two charter school networks.

New Orleans Prior to Hurricane Katrina, 62 percent of public schools in New Orleans were deemed failing, with little chance of preparing children to compete in the 21st century economy. After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, the local school system was rebuilt from scratch through the innovative work of the Recovery School District, which created the conditions for many high-quality school operators to thrive. KIPP was one of the first national organizations to come back to the city; by July 2012, KIPP New Orleans will have opened 10 schools. KIPP New Orleans not only created a large network in a short time, but the performance of our schools has improved as we have grown: KIPP Believe College Prep and KIPP Central City Academy are the two highest-performing open-enrollment middle schools in the city. In 2011, KIPP Central City Academy showed the highest growth of any school in the entire state. Thanks to the presence of many high-quality school operators, the achievement gap between students in New Orleans and the rest of Louisiana has been halved. That means New Orleans children are more likely to wake up and go to a school that prepares them to compete and succeed in life. The KIPP New Orleans team continues to share all it is learning with other school leaders so that the odds for children continue to improve.


Chicago

Tennessee

Boston

For more than two decades, Chicago leaders have been working to improve educational opportunities for children. While a 2011 report by the University of Chicago’s Consortium on Chicago School Research highlighted significantly improved high school graduation rates, the report also found that the vast majority of public school students there are not achieving at levels necessary to prepare them for college. Now, a new mayor and superintendent are taking dramatic steps to improve education, recognizing that children need more hours in the school day to make needed achievement gains. Civic leaders are joining the mayor to explore how to dramatically accelerate the opening of great new schools, particularly in high-need neighborhoods.

Spurred by legislative and policy changes that were initiated under the federal Race to the Top initiative, Tennessee is becoming a model state for education reform. Since 2009, Tennessee has significantly raised academic standards for public schools, modified its state charter law, and brought in reformminded leaders to the State Department of Education who will promote the growth and expansion of high-quality charter schools.

There may be no city better positioned to dramatically transform the future for its children than Boston. In 2011, Boston doubled the number of charter seats available for proven education organizations. As a result, high-performing school networks will open no fewer than 15 schools, which will serve more than 15 percent of the total student population, in the next five years. These schools, coupled with Boston Public Schools’ commitment to pilot excellent new schools, represent a major opportunity to transform a city’s educational landscape within a decade. KIPP plans to build on the success of its first two New England schools, KIPP Academy Lynn and KIPP Academy Lynn Collegiate, by opening a KIPP school in Boston in summer 2012.

Chicago is home to two KIPP charter schools, with a third KIPP school scheduled to open in 2012, and we are eager to respond to the city’s call to significantly expand our presence in the next five years. Additionally, KIPP proudly welcomes Chicago Public Schools leadership into our KIPP Leadership Design Fellowship, through which we will share our key insights about developing outstanding school leaders.

KIPP Memphis and KIPP Nashville schools have been proving the potential for academic excellence in their communities and are focused on opening more schools and serving more students in the coming years. KIPP Memphis will open its third and fourth schools in the summer of 2012, and has established the political, community, and philanthropic support to grow up to 10 schools with the capacity to serve up to 4,600 students (nearly 5 percent of all Memphis city public school students). KIPP Nashville is similarly positioned to expand significantly and will open its second school in summer 2013. Over the next three years, KIPP Nashville plans to open three additional schools with capacity to serve up to 1,800 students. Both KIPP Nashville and KIPP Memphis will be part of a growing number of high-quality charter schools that will be helping to reshape the landscape of public education in Tennessee.

Efforts like these generate momentum, creating real educational change around the country. Together, we are building a better tomorrow, so that one day all students will have access to schools that prepare them for a life full of options. And that gives us hope for everyone’s future. 11


WHAT YOU MEASURE MATTERS.

Building a better tomorrow for students and families in classrooms, schools, and communities is only possible if we know exactly how we are doing. Data helps us understand our true impact, what is working, and what needs to be improved. By highlighting our students’ achievements, we can help them climb the mountain to and through college. Our Six Essential Questions provide a yardstick by which to measure our progress, keep us focused as we grow, and guide us to help our students’ futures shine brighter.

are we serving the children who need us? At KIPP, we open our doors to those who need us. In 2011, 87 percent of our students were eligible for free or reduced price meals—and we are helping more students than ever, over 33,000. By 2015, KIPP aims to serve 55,000 students, more than double the number served in 2010. Our mission has always been to educate students from educationally underserved communities, including English language learners and students with special needs.

are our students staying with us? At KIPP, we are committed to keeping our students with us because we believe that every student can thrive in our schools. That is why focusing on reducing student attrition is critical. It’s simple: if a school is losing a high percentage of its students, it is not a healthy school. Across our network we have seen a positive trend in student attrition rates over the past four years. In 2010–11, 89 percent of KIPP students returned to their KIPP school or completed the highest grade offered at their school. This is up from 84 percent in 2006–07. KIPP’s goal is to ensure that every student has the opportunity to attend college and obtain a degree. We are committed to analyzing our students’ mobility patterns and other data in order to keep as many students as possible.

89% of KIPP students returned or completed the highest grade at their school in 2011.

High school senior Pernell takes two trains and a bus from his home in Oakland in order to attend KIPP King Collegiate in San Lorenzo, California. He’s been a KIPP student since fifth grade, and appreciates the challenge and individual attention KIPP teachers provide. But KIPP wasn’t always easy for Pernell. He was held back for a year in middle school and had behavior problems. At one point, he had even decided he was going to quit KIPP. But after trying out another school for a day, he realized KIPP was the right fit.

Pernell persevered and continues to rely on KIPP supports, including teachers and the KIPP Through College program. “KIPP prepares you for college,” Pernell says. “It prepares you for life, period.”

are kipp students progressing and achieving academically? In order to ensure that our students are on track to being college- and career-ready, we look closely at achievement results beginning in kindergarten. KIPP schools use a variety of data sources and tools to understand student achievement and track student growth. These include classroom observations and tests, evaluations of students’ skills against state standards, and a nationally norm-referenced test called Measures of Academic Progress (MAP).

NORM-REFERENCED TESTS Norm-referenced tests (NRTs) compare a student’s score against the scores of a group of students. We require all KIPP schools serving grades 2–8 to administer an NRT; some also administer the test in grades K and 1. Unlike state tests, these exams allow us to compare the performance of KIPPsters to their grade-level peers across state lines. We can also track student performance across time.

On average, KIPP students are outperforming the national average of students achieving 1+ year of growth. At KIPP, students test on MAP in the fall and the spring. Each year after fall testing, MAP assigns all students a target growth goal that they are to meet or exceed by the spring. Below is the percent of students in each grade who are meeting or exceeding their growth targets.

A small number of schools test only new students in the fall and all students in the spring. The results here only reflect schools that test both in the fall and spring. Additionally, some KIPP middle schools took other norm-referenced tests such as the SAT-10.

NOTES Where are 3rd and 4th grades? The majority of our elementary schools do not yet serve grades 3 and 4. In 2010-11, only three schools in our network tested grades 3 or 4 on MAP. Given the small sample size, we do not report scores for these grades.

About grades K–2

About norms for MAP

Some schools do not test grades K and 1. The test results on these pages only feature 8 of 22 kindergarten classes and 6 of 14 first grade classes. Only 5 of our 9 second grade classes are represented because the remaining classes test on SAT-10.

The Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) administers the MAP test. NWEA releases new norms every three years. This is the last year our results will reflect NWEA’s 2008 norm group. Next year, we will report growth and status scores reflecting the new 2011 norm group—we expect to see a shift in scores for all grades, with a larger impact on scores for primary school grades. 17


STATE CRITERION-REFERENCED TESTS Every state administers criterion-referenced tests in the spring in order to assess student academic achievement. Each state has a unique test. The results of these exams allow us to compare the performance of KIPP classes to that of their local districts and states, but do not allow us to compare to classes in different states.

By the end of 8th grade, 94% of KIPP classes outperform their local districts in reading; 96% do so in math. PERCENT OF CLASSES OUTPERFORMING THEIR LOCAL DISTRICTS AND STATES. Reading 100 10057

are kipp students climbing the mountain to and through college? Currently, more than 2,000 KIPP alumni are enrolled in college— up from 1,100 one year ago. By 2015, we project to have 10,000 KIPP alumni enrolled in college. The need is urgent to create innovative supports for this growing number of students before, during, and after college. At KIPP, a college-going culture is embedded into everything we do. In 2004 we started opening elementary and high schools, starting earlier and staying longer with students to provide a rigorous college-prep education from pre-kindergarten through senior year. Our KIPP Through College program provides students and families a variety of supports from middle school onward to help ensure students are prepared for college and the workplace. And KIPP is partnering with colleges and universities to invest in the PreK–16 education continuum and urge them to better support underrepresented and first-generation college students.

rocio mendoza, kipp houston A member of KIPP Houston’s inaugural middle school class, Rocio understood that she and her classmates were trailblazers. Her teacher, KIPP Co-Founder Mike Feinberg, told her and her fellow students that the successes of their class would provide an example for future generations of KIPPsters. Rocio was born in Mexico; her father is a trained electrician and her mother’s formal education ended in middle school. Yet Rocio’s mother made it clear she and her sister were going to college. KIPP helped her get there, inspiring her to attend boarding school in Connecticut, an option she’d never considered, and planting the idea to attend Stanford University during an eighth grade trip to Palo Alto.

As of fall 2011, 36 percent of KIPP students who completed eighth grade at KIPP ten or more years ago have graduated from a fouryear college. (This number is drawn from two KIPP middle schools, the only schools with alumni old enough to have reached this threshold.) KIPP’s college success rate is greater than the average U.S. college graduation rate, 31 percent, and far exceeds the national rate of low-income students who earn a bachelor’s degree.

“KIPP exposed all of us to just a much broader range of educational opportunities and choices,” she said.

While we are proud of the achievements of the earliest KIPP students, we still have a long way to go.

Rocio went on to earn a law degree at the University of Texas at Austin. She works in Houston as an attorney practicing transactional energy law.

are we building a sustainable people model? Talented and dedicated teachers and school leaders are the heart of KIPP. Our students’ achievements can be attributed to people who care enough and dedicate themselves to helping every student achieve. That’s why efforts to attract, support, and retain our outstanding educators are fundamental to our success. This work includes establishing effective recruitment and development practices to create a pipeline of capable leaders. The KIPP School Leadership Programs (KSLP) provide world-class professional development opportunities for our KIPP teachers and leaders. The original Fisher Fellowship program was created to train leaders to open new KIPP schools. Now, we have expanded KSLP into six unique programs designed for educators with a range of leadership goals and experiences. Since 2000, the KIPP Foundation has trained nearly 1,000 leaders across KIPP and from other organizations, uniting them in a rigorous leadership development experience where they learn and share. With the support of a federal Investing in Innovation (i3) grant, we expect to train hundreds of additional leaders by 2015 through cohort-based experiences supplemented by residencies and coaching.

73% of our teachers stayed within the KIPP network last year.

Kristy has served as a KIPP teacher, KIPP vice principal, and now as the school leader of KIPP DC: AIM Academy. Her story isn’t unique. In fact, 73 percent of KIPP school leaders were once KIPP teachers. KIPP helps leaders like Kristy thrive. “At KIPP,” she says, “initiative and innovation are celebrated, so there is a culture of pushing yourself to constantly develop to do what’s right by kids.”

We honor our teachers as professionals by recognizing their contributions and investing in their growth and development, whether they want to move into leadership positions or hone their craft as master teachers.


are we building a sustainable financial model? Providing underserved students the knowledge, skills, habits, and character to help them succeed in life depends on operating financially healthy and sustainable schools and regions. The revenue that allows us to do this critical work comes from several sources, including local, state, and federal funds. State and local funding varies greatly across the KIPP network, from $5,000 per student in California to as much as $14,000 per student in some East Coast schools. KIPP schools receive less public funding on average than their neighboring district schools, so philanthropic support can help make up the difference. An average of 85 percent of KIPP schools’ annual operating expenditures come from public funds, with 15 percent comprised of philanthropic dollars. In addition, many schools do not receive public funding for facilities, so they must fundraise or dip into their operating budgets. Many KIPP regions also raise funds to help support new and growing schools: KIPP schools add one grade per year, and per-pupil costs are highest in the early years. KIPP’s school expenses include: instruction, student services such as transportation and meals, KIPP extras such as longer school days and years as well as end-of-year field lessons, KIPP Through College programs, facilities, and administration.

kipp austin Last year, KIPP Austin Public Schools (KAPS) faced a major austerity challenge. Texas budget cuts meant school funding would shrink by as much as 15 percent. KAPS leaders had to step back and evaluate how to reduce expenses without compromising student outcomes. So, they looked to their KIPP peers. By comparing their schools’ financial and operational models to KIPP schools across the country, they could assess tradeoffs and learn from colleagues’ experience. KAPS leaders examined their staffing ratios and facilities plans against those of similar schools. This reflection allowed KIPP Austin’s leadership to consider alternatives that would put their schools on a path to financial sustainability and strong student achievement.

To address the sixth question, we ask: What is the financial health of our schools and regions? What level of philanthropy is needed for a region to reach scale? How many years will it take for a region to operate with little or no philanthropic funding? What level of philanthropy, if any, is needed once a region reaches scale?

about the report card The KIPP Report Card is a direct reflection of our commitment to performance transparency and accountability for student results and achievement in our schools. We are determined to find out what’s working and not working for our students and families. The numbers tell much of that story. By looking at our data, we can help sustain what makes our schools thrive, while also understanding our challenges so that we can meet them head-on. The 2011 KIPP Report Card provides data that tracks the growth and development of the KIPP network, collected from each locally-run KIPP school open during the 2010–11 school year.

REGIONAL PROFILES & RESULTS Information is featured for each KIPP region that had a ratified executive director as of December 2011. Data includes number of schools, grades served, regional achievement data, student attrition, and teacher retention. Schools that have only been open for one year and that do not have results for the 2010–11 school year are marked with an asterisk.

SCHOOL PROFILES & RESULTS Information on these pages includes student enrollment and demographics, student attrition data, number of teachers, per-pupil revenues, state accountability results, and facilities information. Achievement data are from two sets of student tests: state exams required of all public schools and nationally norm-referenced achievement exams administered by all KIPP schools serving grades two through eight. At KIPP, we are holding ourselves accountable for raising student achievement beyond proficiency to advanced levels, so we share data on both categories. KIPP schools administer norm-referenced exams in order to have a common measurement of student achievement and growth across all states and to identify strengths and areas for improvement across KIPP schools.

Note: Demographic data is accurate as of November 2011 (2011–12 school year), and achievement data reflect the 2010–11 school year. Values on all graphs are rounded to the nearest whole number. Percentages for student demographics and norm-referenced tests may not add up to 100 due to rounding. Values less than 11% may not be labeled due to space constraints.

22


We report demographic information about our students (race/ethnicity, free/reduced price meals, special education, gender) by school, and aggregated numbers at the regional level.

At the regional level, we report college matriculation and graduation rates for the regions that have high school seniors. On high school pages, we report the same data, along with SAT/ ACT scores as a measure of college readiness.

We report teacher retention data at the regional level. We report student attrition data at both the regional and school level.

At the regional level, we aggregate the state and district comparison data for criterion-referenced tests. At the school level, we also include results of norm-referenced tests and measures of growth as compared to norm groups.

We report per-pupil funding and facilities information at the school level, providing context for assessing financial health and sustainability.

KIPP Ascend Primary and KIPP Ascend Middle are recognized by the state under a single charter and therefore received a combined state rating. Because state ratings are derived primarily from state accountability tests that begin in the 3rd grade, and because KIPP Ascend Primary only served kindergarten in 2010–11, the state rating does not reflect KIPP Ascend Primary’s student achievement and is not reported. Fall 2010 kindergarten scores and metric for “1+ year of academic progress” are not available due to data verification issues.

As an elementary school serving only kindergarten in 2010–11, KIPP Austin Comunidad students did not take the state criterion-referenced test, which begins in the third grade in Texas. In 2010–11, early childhood assessment at KIPP Austin Comunidad supported the development of both English and Spanish in all content for all students. The assessment of early literacy skills included using Developmental Reading Assessment in English and Spanish (DRA and EDL) and the Texas Primary Reading Inventory (TPRI)/Tejas Lee for students. Math was assessed using weekly teacher-developed math assessments aligned with state standards and Common Core standards.

However, explicit benchmark assessments are given every quarter with individual student, classroom, and grade level being followed longitudinally to inform curriculum design, instructional planning and appropriate acceleration or intervention strategies designed to assure the success of every student. In 2010-11, early childhood assessment at KIPP Coastal Village included number sense with Kathy Richardson math assessments, phonological awareness using a standardized protocol for measuring rhyming, alliteration, blending and segmenting, reading comprehension, and fluency with Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment System, and a developmental writing continuum out of Australia.

In 2010–11, early childhood assessment at KIPP Legacy Prep included the assessment of math skills with number recognition protocol and teacher-developed standardsbased assessments, and assessment of early literacy skills using the Texas Primary Reading Inventory (TPRI), the Developmental Reading Assessment 2 (DRA2) and Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS). Kindergarten students at KIPP Legacy Prep also took the SAT-10 at the end of the school year to measure grade level growth in literacy, math, science and social studies. norm-referenced test

appendix Data Definitions and Methodology In order to provide a full picture of the achievements of the KIPP network, the KIPP Foundation collects a wide range of information from each locally-run KIPP school. The Report Card features schools that were open in 2010–11 that are currently open. The following categories explain the data presented in the preceding pages. Demographic data is accurate as of November 2011 (2011–12 school year), and achievement data reflect the 2010–11 school year. Enrollment The Report Card provides enrollment figures for each school. In November 2011, there were 33,754 students in 109 KIPP schools. Student Demographics The Report Card displays graphically the percentage of students who qualify for the federal free and reduced price meals program (a proxy for family income), the gender and race/ethnicity percentages by school, and the percentage of students defined as having special needs, as of November 2011. In the Report Card, we define special needs students as those who have Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) or are otherwise defined by the school as having special needs. In consultation with parents and other school staff, a special needs teacher prepares an IEP document that outlines the learning goals for the students and the ways in which the school will accommodate and support the student’s special needs. Percentages for student demographics may not add up to 100 due to rounding. Student Attrition The Report Card features student attrition data from the 2010–11 school year. KIPP defines attrition as the percentage of students who leave a school (for reasons other than fourth-grade, eighth-grade and twelfth-grade completion) in one annual cycle between October 1 of one year and October 1 of the following year, which is the date that most states close their enrollment. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) also uses this date when referencing enrollment for a given year. Network-wide statistics are based on the 98 schools for which we were able to collect this information. Student Achievement—State Exams Like all other public schools, students enrolled at KIPP schools are required under state and federal law to take exams, the results of which are used for state accountability purposes. The state tests profiled in this Report Card are criterion-referenced exams, which means that the content reflects the academic standards set by each state. The Report Card provides schoollevel achievement data for each subject matter test required by the state to fulfill the reporting requirements of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, and compares these results with state and

district averages for each test. We also report 2011 state ratings or designations when these results are available and applicable. Some states, but not all, use such a system for rating schools. These tests do not measure growth over time. Student Achievement— Nationally Norm-Referenced Exams All KIPP students take norm-referenced achievement exams from second grade through eighth grade. All KIPP middle schools administer both mathematics and reading tests. Norm-referenced tests allow us to track the performance of students while enrolled in KIPP as compared to their grade-level peers nationally. They also provide a way to monitor student achievement longitudinally and to see the progress our students are making on the road to college. The average American student who takes a nationally norm-referenced exam will score at the 50th percentile. This student is outperforming five out of ten students nationally. From one year to the next, the average student will make one year of growth and not gain any percentile ranks, meaning that he or she will stay at the 50th percentile from year to year. If a student’s percentile increases on a nationally norm-referenced exam from year to year, it means that the student has made more than one year of growth relative to his or her peers. Across the network, almost all of our schools use of the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) test, while in the past the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT-10) has been the primary norm-referenced test. Due to this transition, we provide a snapshot of growth rather than a representation of long-term growth. The norm-referenced test graphs on each school’s page depict the percentage of students in each percentile range (1–24, 25–49, 50–74, 75–100) on the norm-referenced test that were administered during the 2010–11 school year. In order to provide a growth measurement as well, we also report the percentage of students who made one year or more of academic progress between fall and spring of the 2010–11 school year. Percentages for norm-referenced tests may not add up to 100 due to rounding. Attainment Data— High School Graduation The Report Card features high school graduation and college matriculation data for eighth-grade completers (of KIPP middle schools) at a regional level, as well as graduation and college matriculation data for KIPP high school students at a school level. For KIPP high schools with senior classes, the Report Card also includes Advanced Placement and college entrance exam (ACT and SAT)

participation and performance data, as well as district and state benchmarks where available. All graduation, matriculation, and exam data was tracked and verified by the region or school in the fall of 2011 and maintained within KIPP’s alumni database. Accompanying state and district data is collected through official state, district, and test company sources as noted. Teacher Retention The education community lacks a common standard for defining and reporting teacher retention. The National Center for Education Statistics defines all cases in which a teacher stops teaching at a particular school as turnover, regardless of whether a teacher switches schools, moves into a non-teaching position within his or her current school, or leaves the field of education altogether. KIPP adopts this framework, defining “teacher retention (within school)” as cases where a teacher who is teaching at a school in one school year continues teaching at the same school as of the fall (September 1) of the following year. Any teacher who begins teaching at a school during the academic year (September 1 to April 30), regardless of whether he or she joined at the beginning, middle, or end of the year, is considered part of the denominator that is utilized in calculating “teacher retention (within school)” rates. At the same time, because KIPP is a rapidly growing network of schools, many KIPP teachers leave to teach at another KIPP school or transition to a non-teaching capacity within the KIPP network. Current KIPP teachers are an important source for future KIPP leaders, which is why we also report “teacher retention (within network),” a metric that counts these teachers as staying within the KIPP team and family. We are thankful for the support of the individuals and organizations that have partnered with the KIPP Foundation to make a difference in the lives of more than 33,000 children across the country, proving what is possible in public education.
