Our goal was to graduate students with the strength of character and academic abilities needed to succeed in life – and in so doing, to prove what is possible in urban schools. We promised to do whatever was necessary to help our students succeed, and we asked them, and their families, to make the same commitment. More than 20 years later, KIPP NYC is still making and keeping those promises to our current roster of students and alumni. Our state test scores and high school and college graduation rates consistently out-perform results from the city, state, and all students US.
