PUBLIC SCHOOLS

KIPP LA SCHOOLS IS COMMITTED to doing whatever it takes to ensure that ALL of our students are firmly on the path to and through college. In neighborhoods where only4% of students graduate from college, 84% of KIPP LA's alumni are persisting in college.

Dear Friends,Over the past nine years, KIPP La Schools has grown from two

schools serving approximately 150 students to a thriving network

of seven schools serving 2,200 students.

Throughout this growth, we have never lost sight of our

commitment to our core mission: to teach the academic skills,

foster the intellectual habits, and cultivate the character traits

needed for our students to thrive in high school, college, and the

competitive world beyond.

We are committed to providing world-class academic and

character education to our students and to staying with them on

the entirety of their journey to and through college. We believe

that all children will learn and succeed if given the right educational

environment, opportunities, and support.

We are committed to the visionary leadership that makes our

schools excellent learning environments and to expanding our

impact in Los angeles — ensuring more students obtain the

high-quality K-8 education that will put them on the path to

college.

We are committed to evaluating our results and raising the bar

for excellent education in Los angeles. We know that regardless

of the energy and resources expended, what matters most is the

success of our students.

We are committed to constant innovation, exploring blended

learning and other new ways to get better as we get bigger. We are

looking far into the future, meticulously planning our growth, and

adapting as needed to ensure that we are ready for whatever the

future may hold.

and we are committed to you, our community of friends and

supporters. We are pleased to share our 2012 annual report and

invite you to learn more about our schools and organization. We

hope you will join us in our commitment to the students of South

Building a Better Los Angeles

COMMITTeD TO... buiLding a better Los angeLesKIPP La Schools is helping to meet the need

for high-quality educational options in South

and east Los angeles.

KIPP la schools (KIPP la) operates free, open-

enrollment, public charter schools in south and

east la. We seek to provide our students with the

academic skills, personal habits, and character traits

necessary to succeed in high school, college, and life.

since 2003, our schools have been closing the

achievement gap in middle school. When we

opened our first elementary school in 2008, we

welcomed a class of kindergartners who will never

face that achievement gap. as part of the national

KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) network of 125

schools in 20 states and DC, we are building a better

tomorrow for students in los angeles and across the

country.

KIPP la is expanding to serve more students in our

communities. over the next five years, we will triple

the number of students we serve in los angeles.

skills but also on developing them into lifelong

learners and critical thinkers. by giving excellent

educators more time in the classroom, we lay a firm

foundation in the core subjects of math, english

language arts, science, and social studies; develop

students’ creativity and cultural awareness through

art, music, and foreign languages; and offer a wide

range of extracurricular activities such as lacrosse,

In her first few days as a fifth grader at KIPP la Prep, rosemary was surprised by the focus on college and the expectations that challenged her at all times. her teachers, recognizing her potential, required her to strive for “no less than her best” and inspired her to grow and improve.

now in her eighth grade year, rosemary is president of the student council. next year, she hopes to attend The Waverly school or harvard-Westlake and considers herself to have unlimited career options. in her words, “if there aren’t any limits in education at kiPP, why put limits on your life interests?”

Kipp comienzA community pRep CharaCTer eDUCaTIOn

at KIPP Comienza Community Prep, character education pervades the entire curriculum. from reading to math to science taught in spanish, the school’s four values — courage, ganas, honor, and reflection — provide the framework.

students show courage when taking risks and asking for help, exhibit ganas by never giving up, honor themselves and their community, and consistently reflect upon their choices; when they make mistakes, they turn their behavior around.

KIPP’s hIghly PreDICTIve CharaCTer sTrengThs

It takes more than academic achievement

to fuel a successful climb to and through

college.

students must also develop a core set of character

strengths to persist through any setbacks or

challenges they face. KIPP has adopted seven highly

predictive character strengths shown to lead to

engaged, meaningful, and purposeful lives: grit, zest,

self-control, optimism, gratitude, social intelligence,

and curiosity.

each KIPP la school infuses its curriculum with

character education and seeks to provide students

with opportunities to develop themselves into

confident self-advocates who know what it will take

to achieve their goals.

Staying with Our Students

COMMITTeD TO... staying withour studentsFor our students, the road to college

completion is full of obstacles. as a result,

our commitment to them does not end when

they leave our middle schools in eighth grade.

KIPP la’s KIPP Through College (KTC) team stays

with our students even after they leave our schools,

providing a wide array of support and services to

alumni as they climb to and through college. KTC

assists our exiting eighth graders in matriculating to

college-preparatory high schools and supports them

with high school course selection and applications

for college, financial aid, and scholarships. We stay

with our students throughout their college careers,

providing advice, counseling, and added support to

ensure our KIPPsters not only matriculate to college

but are also on track to graduate.

Currently, 84 percent of KIPP la’s alumni are

persisting in college, compared to 11 percent of low-

income students from south and east los angeles.

Throughout the KIPP network, KIPP alumni graduate

college at a rate higher than the national average.

When Ian started as a fifth grader at KIPP academy of opportunity, he was performing far below grade level in all subjects. but after four years with the “outstanding teachers” he found at KIPP, he matriculated to high school proficient in all subjects. his time at KIPP taught him the value of education and always striving for his best.

now he is a sophomore at Cal state monterey bay, plans to double major in government and education, and leads his school’s chapter of strive for College, a college-access mentoring group. ultimately, Ian aspires to teach at KIPP before eventually founding a KIPP school through the fisher fellowship.

great schools don’t just happen. It takes

excellent leaders to create high-quality,

Power to lead, one of KIPP’s five Pillars, highlights

our focus on identifying the right leaders for

our schools and empowering them to make the

decisions that are best for our schools, students, and

communities.

our school leaders are skilled educators who build

excellent teaching teams and create environments

that foster academic achievement, personal and

professional growth, and joyful learning. In turn,

great teachers build relationships with students and

families, create inspirational classroom cultures, and

use student data effectively to customize instruction.

Tiffany’s passion for equitable education grew from her own personal experience. as a child, her parents moved her from the struggling schools of south Central to the high-performing schools in the suburbs. This changed the trajectory of her life, a fact reinforced by the vastly different experiences of her cousins, who remained in south la.

In 2011, through the prestigious fisher fellowship, Tiffany completed a yearlong leadership training program as preparation for opening a new KIPP school. This fall, she founded KIPP scholar academy in south la. Tiffany is determined that her students’ futures will not be dictated by the demographics of their neighborhood, but rather that they are given every opportunity to lead meaningful, fulfilling lives.


Finding a Way or Making One

COMMITTeD TO... finding a way ormaking oneIn the challenging fiscal climate that Los

angeles and California present to charter

schools, KIPP La is innovating and doing more

with less.

one of KIPP la’s core values is constant learning.

We relentlessly pursue ways to improve, from the

educational experience in our classrooms to our

operational practices to our real estate strategy.

Teachers innovate in creating their curriculum, and an

entrepreneurial spirit permeates the classrooms and

operations at KIPP la.

In the past year, we employed a technological solution,

hirevue, to manage the initial stage of the hiring

process, freeing up personnel and allowing us to

strategically target our resources in areas where they

will have the most impact. In addition, we retrofitted

a former retail store into a thriving elementary school,

KIPP raíces academy’s otis booth Campus, saving

over $3.5 million in new construction costs.

solutions like these helped us reduce our cost

per student while maintaining the high quality of

education we promise to each student and family.

KIPP empower academy is the first KIPP school to operate a blended learning model, which integrates technology into the classroom in a meaningful, productive way. results are proving that with the right educators in the classroom, technology can be strategically utilized to increase student achievement and significantly reduce costs.

building on KIPP empower’s success, we have implemented blended learning at KIPP Comienza Community Prep and are working to utilize computer-assisted learning at all of our schools. Through this and other innovative technology practices, we are able to decrease our operational costs while also providing our students the 21st century skills needed to excel in tomorrow’s economy.

at KIPP empower, 15 computers are integrated into each classroom, with students rotating on and off throughout the day. While one group of students works independently on adaptive software programs, teachers provide differentiated, individualized, small-group instruction to another group. all this results in students getting further, faster. originally necessitated by a drastic state funding cut of $200,000, KIPP empower’s blended learning model is projected to save close to $1,000 per pupil in 2012-13 alone.

eLeMenTary schooL resuLTs

Through a combination of academic rigor,

character education, and inspirational

leadership, KIPP La is redefining the meaning

of excellent education.

over the past nine years, KIPP la’s schools have

proven what is possible in closing the achievement

gap in south and east los angeles. We know that

our students will need to exhibit skills on par with

students from more affluent communities in order

to be competitive in the professional world. while

many of Kipp lA’s students enter middle school

two to three years below grade level, by the time

our students leave eighth grade, the vast majority

perform at or above grade level. students who

begin with us in kindergarten will never face the

achievement gap.

a sTrong InvesTmenT In our fuTure

Despite facing considerable challenges

brought about by the California budget

crisis, we are dedicated to building a better

tomorrow for students in South and east

Los angeles.

by 2018, KIPP la will triple the number of

students in our schools. maximizing operational

efficiency is key to sustaining our rapid growth,

and we intend to further reduce our costs through

innovative practices.

In the meantime, our extended school day and

year, student enrichment opportunities, and

rent for facilities require us to fundraise to fill

our operating gap. We estimate that our return

on investment per college graduate from a low-

income community will be eight times that of the

state of California.

with the support of our community and

philanthropic partners, we can continue to

change the odds for increasing numbers of

students. Join us and make the commitment to

improving educational opportunities for students

in south and east los Angeles.
