GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My school has much diversity from different religions and ethnicities. They have range in sports and make sure that students are prepared for college. I like that they have classes specifically targeting college readiness. What I don't like is that the school size is small so there is a limit to sports, such as no football team. We also are limited with our senior activities, such as when seniors go out on their field trip, due to limited funding.

My overall experience at Kipp has been okay. The diversity there is amazing. The majority are people of color, and it's just very representative of a multitude of cultures. My biggest critique of the school is the methods of punishment for students. The rules can be intense and overbearing at times, and they tend to punish the whole student body for the actions of a few. However, the education and school community are top-tier. I would allow my future kids to go here.

At first I hated this school, but now I love it. The classes have an average of around 20 students, where the teachers care about us. At first the long hours at Summit, then King was the one thing I could not stand. As time went by I stayed longer after school just because I wanted to.This school ye...

I actually happened upon these reviews when I was googling King's phone number and I must say that I strongly disagree with some of the negative reviews here. To the parent who said that King and Summit are a nuisance to the community because they cause traffic congestion, the fact that most student...
