“What an amazing school Kipp is. Prior to moving my children to this school, I did the research and the school has lived up to what I learned. My daughter did very well academically including her TAKS test. Now my son is there and is he is doing well. He refuses to miss a day, including Saturday. I agree with the others that have posted that this school teaching life skills and responsibility.”

“I had my son in public school and was having trouble with his attitude and his grades. His grades were in the 60's, he was getting in trouble and the teachers were not communicating with me. I tried getting help throught the school, but that didn't go very good, the problems were still there. I did an extensive search for a new school and when saw the video testimonial of a student on the kipp website i decided to take the chance and give the school a try. In the first month of school i noticed a difference in his attitude and grades. In the first 9 weeks he made the ab honor roll. I am very pleased with this school and i try to tell as many people about it. I would like to thank all the staff for thier outstanding job and dedication towards these children.”

“The KIPP program is outstanding in general and the San Antonio Aspire branch does everything it possibly can to enrich the lives of it's students. I am the daughter of a teacher and regularly volunteer my time there teaching dance among other things. The kids work incredibly hard (longer hours, summer school, Saturday school) and if it weren't for the school they wouldn't be getting anywhere near the education or attention that they need to thrive.”

“my child has attend KIPP since the 5th grade and will not be returning. we were told that our child was failing, I don;t understand how he/she or any other child be failing, these students go to school from 7:30a.m to 5:30p.m. and attend Saturday from 8:00a.m. to 12:30p.m. Communication from the teachers and principal is horrible, (im sure whoever is reading this agrees) key word: COMMUNICATION”

“I was so hapy the day they informed us that not 1 but all 3 of my children had won the drawing to be acepted to the school. But it is true that they staff cares more about outside appearances and I am sure that is because of the standards/statistics that they must meet to continue in operation in being a charter school. At one time I am sure that this school was decent, but they have changed the staf so many times. My children have told me how the teachers would talk behind the students backs and used foul language. Some of the students tend to be on bench so much that instead of punishment they welcome it. That to me is like peole that get used to being in and out of prisons. The kids have made a little acronym for the school name KIPP KIDS-IN-PRISON-PROGRAM”

“My child currently has attended KIPP for two years and will not be returning. The teacher turnover rate is horrible, the Administration could use some major tweaking, and it would be nice if the food wasn't expired for once. The remaining teachers are beyond fustrated with the out of control children with there quickness to send them to bench or isolation. Their focus is their outside appearance without regards to the inside structure that is need by every school, charter or not.”

“I went to this school it was hard but worth been there they show you that they care and they help you when you are not passing and they don't make you feel dumb there. This school can make you succeed to going on high school and even college. Parents take it from a student who went there and is in high school right know, you should put your child in that school it is really a good oppertunity for your childeren. All I know this school is the best thing that has ever happend to me.”

“Aspire has changed my daughter from a follower into a leader. Mr. Larson's (the principal) motto of team and family and the small size of the school is great for the kids. The caring staff and extra hours the teachers put in daily (on-call until 9:30 daily for homework help, and in class until 5p.m.) make all the difference.The kids work hard and they do well on standardized tests, but they also learn about integrity and setting goals for themselves. I drive across town every day so my daughter can go there. Is it worth it? yes!”
