“My daughter has attended this school since day one. Eventhough the first year was the best year in reference to Leadership, teaching and support, the children of this school still lack discipline on a consistent basis. Majority of the parents were very new to the 'KIPP Way' and so were the teachers & leadership therefore processes started to dwindled because of over worked teachers and leadership. KIPP Spirit has struggle w/gaining positive momentum. It has not been proven at KIPP Spirit as of yet but certain communities without 'STRONG' Community & Family involvement will struggle. Students & families of certain communities are tougher, they have the resilence, the perservance and they require consistent caring, true reassurance & a stable Leadership. At present Spirit's Leadership has transformed three or more times & at present the new Leadership has stated her commitment as an individual but KIPP SPirit still needs guidanceand support.”

“MY daughter is attending Kipp Spirit in the new building, and attended summer classes in the old one. I thought the summer session was great, being that she was in HISD. Since we have been in the new building it has been hell.... The structure that is being implemented is too much at times for the students. Because Kipp is in a lower income neighborhood, they feel as if the kids need to be treated like they are in a juvi.. dentention center. Three days out of the week they are there until 5 o'clock. During this time my child has been able to use the restroom only 1 time during the day. let's just say if you'r child did not start off with Kipp keep them away. I know it is a College Prep school, but College doesn't treat you like this, nor is the homework that Massive.”

“KIPP Spirit was a good school for the first two years my child was there. They have a big turnover with teachers. They need better leadership and they need people who really care about the students instead of people just going to work because its a job. Kipp Spirit in Sunnyside need stability, and a lot of it !”
