kipp is actually the worst school i've ever been to. teachers never teach they hand you a paper and expect you to know everything. staff are rude. teachers are immature and fight wit literal kids. they constantly say the yell kick you out the school and they are one of the top schools and will replace you. i think this school takes away the middle school experience away from the older kids making them walk in lines. to classes and having to stay with the same people in your home room all year and no matter the problem they refuse to change your class they ignore bullying. they take phones away like they get paid of it no matter the reason you had it even at lunch overly strict. they also threaten to take phones until ll the end of the year (that's not even legal) teachers quit then they blame the kids for not knowing anything about that subject even tho they didn't have a teacher
