KIPP Austin graduates gain acceptances into Austin's most competitive public and private high schools.
For the third year in a row, 100 percent of seventh graders passed the Writing TAKS, and for the second year in a row, 100 percent of eighth graders passed the Reading TAKS.
Our sixth, seventh and eighth graders continue to earn a higher passing rate than the state's passing rate on all required TAKS tests, and each year more students earn a commended performance rating.
For the first time, in 2007, fifth graders earned a passing rate higher than the state's passing rate on the Math TAKS.
A generous grant from the Texas High School Project will help us start our high school, opening with a ninth grade class in 2008.
The Charter School Growth Fund has invested in our strategic growth plan with a gift of $4.6 million, which will allow us to expand to 10 schools serving students in grades pre-K through 12.
