The teachers at KIPP are enthusiastic, committed and dedicated to their students. They are on call until 9pm for homework help. They have open communication with the parents. Often they just call to give me an update. The academics are challenging. My child, who never spent more than 15 minutes on her homework, typically has an hour's worth of homework daily (including week ends).

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Massachusetts used the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) to test students in grades 3 though 8 and 10 in English language arts and math and in grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The grade 10 MCAS is a high school graduation requirement. The MCAS is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Massachusetts. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
