Pros

The school truly is mission-driven and its commitment to the needy community it serves is evident. It is one of several charter schools in the city and has plans for significant growth in the next several years. Part of a national network of charter schools that are managed by and receive support from headquarters.

Cons

In only its third year of operation a chaotic startup atmosphere persists. To be successful and professionally content at KIPP you must thrive in a constantly changing and poorly organized environment. The administration lacks sufficient people management skills and overcrowding/Inadequate workspace is a huge problem.
