Open Quote Growing up in public school myself, and seeing my children go through the system, I have only been nothing but disappointed in the public school system and its callous way of only preparing children to take a test at the end of every year. I researched what charter schools have to offer, and I learned through a friend about Kipp Amp. What I heard and saw through my friend impressed me, no, it gave me hope for my children. My children LEARN. They now have discipline, they are being taught solid studying and learning ethics in an environment where the teachers do not waste half of the period getting the children to settle down. The teachers call me and my wife with any and all issues to keep us up to date with our children's progress. The quality of teacher involvement and interest feels genuine and gives me confidence that my children are in not only a completely educational environment, but a caring one as well The teachers at Kipp Amp have energy, interest and soul in what they teach. With Kipp, I see a future with my children that I did not have when I went through public school. If I could attend Kipp myself, I would be more confident in my future of education. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
