School Reviews
5 8/20/2012
KIPP not just a school, but a big family as well. Their motivation in closing the achievement gap and ethics they have instilled in us as students have left a lasting impression of knowledge, understanding, and compassion within me that has always been there, only now it is stronger. I am looking forward to being a politician and someday inspire students as I was inspired by them.
