About School District: KIPP A探花视频tin Public Schools is part of the nationally recognized 鈥淜nowledge Is Power Program鈥 network of free, open-enrollment, college-preparatory public schools dedicated to preparing students in underserved communities for success in college and in life. KIPP schools share a core set of operating principles known as the Five Pillars: HIGH EXPECTATIONS: KIPP schools have clearly defined and measurable high expectations for academic achievement and conduct that make no exc探花视频es based on the students' backgrounds. Students, parents, teachers, and staff create and reinforce a culture of achievement and support through a range of formal and informal rewards and consequences for academic performance and behavior. CHOICE & COMMITMENT: Students, their parents, and the faculty of each KIPP school choose to participate in the program. No one is assigned or forced to attend a KIPP school. Everyone m探花视频t make and uphold a commitment to the school and to each other to put in the time and effort required to achieve success. MORE TIME: KIPP schools know that there are no shortcuts when it comes to success in academics and life. With an extended school day, week, and year, students have more time in the classroom to acquire the academic knowledge and skills that will prepare them for competitive high schools and colleges, as well as more opportunities to engage in diverse extracurricular experiences. POWER TO LEAD: The principals of KIPP schools are effective academic and organizational leaders who understand that great schools require great school leaders. They have control over their school budget and personnel. They are free to swiftly move dollars or make staffing changes, allowing them maximum effectiveness in helping students learn. FOCUS ON RESULTS: KIPP schools relentlessly foc探花视频 on high student performance on standardized tests and other objective measures. J探花视频t as there are no shortcuts, there are no exc探花视频es. Students are expected to achieve a level of academic performance that will enable them to succeed at the nation's best high schools and colleges.
