Kipp Summit Academy
Prior to KIPP Summit my son was failing in math and was reportedly reading at 3rd grade level when leaving 4th grade. Upon arrival at KIPP he tested at 2nd grade level reading. Since he has been at KIPP he is now in the 6th grade and is almost at reading level for his grade as well as excelling in math.
