I find this school to be amazing. After serching on Great Schools for a school for my daughter. I am so happy. I needed to change my daughter's previous school. Her previous school had to many transistions with staff and no consistency. went to many open house and spoke to parents. I am very blessed to have my daughter at Kipp. My daughter is a 5th grader that can't wait to get to school the next day. She looks forward to the teacher and staff. They have a very creative way of engaging the children. The school is always clean, quiet, and excellent learning evironment. This was a huge change from her previous school. She came to this school 3 grades behind in reading. She is almost grade level. The extra help that was given to my daughter was amazing. This was done in only 5 months. I believe the rating is low. Every student is given the teacher's cell's phone numbers. There is no reason why homework can not be completed. The principal and staff are always available. I'm extrememly happy with the accomplishments my daughter has made. I'm glad I choose Kipp Infinity

My son attends Kipp Charter School and I he has matured so much and his academic skill are awesome. As for the teachers they are very much involved with the childrens academics. They make sure the children learn. I recommend this school to other parents for their children. This will be the right choice.

there are good teachers and the school can be quite complicated but there are teachers that willbeome your role model and guide you through middle school and the the grade year spent with Kipp infinity when i was in the Kipp High School seemed very nice. There Are Many Rules And expectations that are set to aim above average. Kipp Is Outstandingly challenging. The Bonds made between students are great to see as well. Life long companions are made in the Kipp System.

Kipp has the most awesome teachers. They are so helpful and caring. They have the coolest principle. He is very much loved and respected. This school also has a wide range of extracurricular stuff that the kids can do. There days are long but they do everything in their power to keep challenged all day and my kids love their school. They brag about it to all of their friends. And me as a parent, I love them. I've never seen so many young kids with so much talent and love for a school.The teachers communicate everything with me and they are always available, even on weekends. I am proud of my kids and the excellent work they've done and also proud of being a Kippster( being part of KIPP). May God bless them all.

My son just graduated from KIPP: Infinity Charter School. He has been in the school since it first opened. The school only gets better and better as it grows. KIPP is exceptional and I could not think of any better place for my son. I cried so much at graduation. My son and I are going to miss everyone at KIPP very much. Everyone there was always so dedicated to each and every one of these kids. I strongly recommend this school. Kippsters are so lucky and so are we (the parents)!

My name is Taisha Valentin.I'm an eighth grade student at KIPP: Infinity Charter School. I am part of the founding class and I think this program is an astounding school. It helps its students through both academically and emotionally as well. To attend this school would mean thata your setting a goal for your life no matter how big it may be. You'll be climbing the mountain to college.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English language arts and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The results for English language arts and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles and the science results will be added when they are released in the Fall of 2013. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New York. The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
