    About KIPP Delta

    KIPP schools share a core set of operating principlesknown as the Five Pillars:

    H E.KIPP schools have clearly dened and measurable high expectations or academic achievement

    and conduct that make no excuses based on the students backgrounds. Students, parents, teachers, and sta create and

    reinorce a culture o achievement and support through a range o ormal and inormal rewards and consequences or

    academic perormance and behavior.

    C & C.Students, their parents, and the aculty o each KIPP school choose to participate in the

    program. No one is assigned or orced to attend a KIPP school. Everyone must make and uphold a commitment to the

    school and to each other to put in the time and eort required to achieve success.

    M T. KIPP schools know that there are no shortcuts when it comes to success in academics and lie. With an

    extended school day, week, and year, students have more time in the classroom to acquire the academic knowledge and

    skills that will prepare them or competitive high schools and colleges, as well as more opportunities to engage in diverse

    extracurricular experiences.

    P L. The principals o KIPP schools are eective academic and organizational leaders who understand that

    great schools require great school leaders. They have control over their school budget and personnel. They are ree to switly

    move dollars or make stang changes, allowing them maximum eectiveness in helping students learn.

    F R. KIPP schools relentlessly ocus on high student perormance on standardized tests and other

    objective measures. Just as there are no shortcuts, there are no excuses. Students are expected to achieve a level o academic

    perormance that will enable them to succeed at the nations best high schools and colleges.

    KIPP Delta is a growing cluster o ree, open enrollment public charter schools that has

    placed students in the Arkansas Delta on the path to college since 2002. With threeschools in Helena and a new middle school in Blytheville, we plan to operate 13 schools in

    our high poverty communities by 2019with the ultimate goal o doubling the number

    o college ready graduates in the Arkansas Delta. To date, one hundred percent o our rst

    two graduating classes were accepted into our-year colleges.

    On a summer evening seven years ago, three strangers

    showed up on my doorstep. They came to make a promise

    i I came to a new school called KIPP, worked hard, and was

    nice, they would do whatever it took to get me to college. It

    didnt take long or my mom to sign me up.

    My teachers told me I would have to work hard to succeed,

    but I had no idea what I was getting into. My rst day o

    summer school at KIPP was terriying; we had to earn

    everything rom our desks to our KIPP shirts. However,that rst day we learned to roll our numbers and soon ater

    learned the preposition song. Through these songs and in

    countless other ways, we ound that learning at KIPP was

    un, too.

    Throughout middle school, I continued to work hard and

    was able to take Algebra 1usually a high school math

    classand the Arkansas End o Course Algebra 1 exam in8th grade. Despite my anxiety about being prepared or

    such a challenging test while still in middle school,

    I earned an Advanced score on the exam. This

    success in 8th grade encouraged me to work even

    harder in high school by challenging mysel to

    take two math classes my reshman year,

    three Advanced Placement classes my

    junior year, and to continue earninghigh grades. In addition to my classes, I

    am involved in the Beta Club, National

    Honor Society, the soccer team,

    community service opportunities, and

    serve as captain o the step team.

    As a result o my hard work, my KIPP

    teachers have connected me with many

    opportunities. Beore my sophomore year, I participated in

    my rst summer program at Truman State University. From

    then on, I have participated in programs like the Aspirnaut

    Initiative where I am able to spend the summer working

    in a research lab at Vanderbilt University Medical School.

    Without the support o my teachers, I would not have even

    known about these programs, let alone applied. I appreciate

    the opportunities I have earned as a KIPPster and I know

    they will be crucial to my success later in lie.

    Over the years, my KIPP team and amily has upheld

    the promises that rst group o teachers made to me

    and my mom on our doorstep so many years ago.

    KIPP promised that I would be successul in lie;

    I no doubt will be.

    Thank you or supporting me and myteammates!

    Sincerely,

    galeesa murph / class of 2012

    Greetings!

    They came to make apromisei I came to a newschool called KIPP, worked

    hard, and was nice, theywould do whatever it took to

    get me to college.

    6 KIPP Delta Public Schools | 2011 Annual Report

    Our Promise:On the rst day o school at KIPP Blytheville College Prep in 2010, 63 th graders walked into a classroom named or the

    alma mater o their teacher and learned they were in the Class o 2018. The year 2018 holds special signicance that will

    be reinorced every school day or the next eight years. It is the year these students will graduate high school and enter

    college. KIPP makes a promise to each student that we will all do whatever it takes to get them to, and through, college.

    This promise is shared by parents, teachers and students as they commit to the hard work, character development, rigorous

    studies, and more time in the classroom needed to prepare each student or success in this journey.

    Today, 30.6 percent o all Americans age 25 to 29 have earned a bachelors degree or higher. For students rom low-income

    amilies, the number is a staggeringly low 8.3 percent while 82 percent o students rom high-income amilies have earned

    a bachelors degree by their mid-20s. Over 80 percent o KIPP Delta students come rom low-income amilies. Our goal isor KIPP Delta graduates to reach the degree attainment percentages o their higher-income peers and or all students to

    have the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in college i they so choose.

    What will it take or our students to make it to and through college? The national KIPP Foundation has identied six key

    questions to help us monitor the health o our schools and gauge our progress towards the promise o preparing every

    student or college.

    Are we serving the children who need us?Are our students staying with us?

    Are our students progressing and achieving academically?

    Are our alumni progressing and achieving academically?

    Are we building a sustainable people model?

    Are we building a sustainable financial model?

    This annual report is designed to share with you the concrete evidence we gather year-round through surveys, interviews,

    ormal testing, and observations that drive our understanding o how we are doing as an organization. Our data includesmuch more than student test results. We have incorporated teacher satisaction, student retention, and other metrics to

    show the degree to which students are succeeding in college ater KIPP. We will also explore metrics related to the nancial

    and human health o our organization. Refecting on this data helps us to ensure that we are ullling the promises we

    make to students, because .

    Are we serving the

    children who need us?KIPP Delta is ocused on preparing students in underserved,high-poverty areas in the Arkansas Delta or success in

    college and lie. We are one o only two regions within the

    KIPP network o schools that serves a rural population and

    we are proving what is possible in rural education.

    Our rural ocus is important because the Arkansas Delta

    has on average the highest percentage o residents living in

    poverty, the lowest percentage o high school graduates, and

    the ewest college graduates in Arkansas. According to the

    ACT, only 18 percent o ACT-tested high school graduates

    in Arkansas met the College Readiness Benchmarks in

    2010. We seek to reverse this trend specically in high-

    poverty districts across rural Eastern Arkansas by doublingthe number o college ready graduates. By ocusing our

    site selection, recruitment and retention eorts on a low-

    income, rural population, we can ensure that KIPP Delta

    schools are serving students who would not otherwise have

    access to a rigorous, college-preparatory education.

    Geographic Scope of KIPP Delta

    KIPP Delta currently operates schools in the Arkansas

    Delta communities o Blytheville and Helena-West Helena.

    These two sites serve students anywhere within a one-hour

    bus ride o the school, so the geographic area covered by

    KIPP Delta schools includes towns within an approximate

    30 mile radius o each schools site. In the coming years

    we plan to open schools in two more Delta communities

    to urther increase the number o low-income students

    prepared or success and through college.

    Are our students

    staying with us?The longer students stay at KIPP, the higher their achievement. Test data gathered over the last nine years clearly provesthat students make tremendous gains over time at KIPP, both in reading and mathematics. Given the importance o this

    act, KIPP Delta is ocused on maintaining a low percentage o student attrition and staying in close communication with

    parents to make sure they are satised with both the academic and non-academic aspects o our schools.

    One important metric that we monitor is student retention, or the percent o students who stay at KIPP Delta rom one

    school year to the next. Student retention is measured using the enrollment on October 1 o each school year to capture

    students who may leave over the summer break. Our goal is to retain at least 85 percent o KIPPsters each school year. As

    o August 20, 2011, 84.6 percent o students who were enrolled in KIPP Delta schools on October 1, 2010 chose to return or

    the 2011-2012 school year.

    Because amilies choose to attend a KIPP Delta school, the enrollment levels o each grade in our schools are a

    good barometer o how satised both existing and potential parents are with our program. We set enrollment

    targets or each grade level and track changes in enrollment over the year to identiy areas that may need immediate

    interventions or more long-term improvement strategies.

    What makes KIPP Delta a special place or students?

    We teach students at KIPP Delta to leave it better than you

    nd it. Our hope is that students will leave their world,

    community, amilies, and themselves better than they

    once were because o the education they have received

    while at KIPP Delta. Our students do not work hard just to

    go on to and graduate rom college. They will ulll their

    promise by using education to make themselves and others

    better through their lie endeavors. For some KIPPsters

    this means they might return to KIPP Delta to teach. For

    others it means they will pursue a degree and career where

    they can make a lasting change in the world.

    The values we teach, beginning on the rst day o

    Kindergarten and continuing all the way through

    graduation, are aimed at helping our students grow into

    hard working, joyul adults leading lives o integrity.

    Through a variety o extracurricular oerings, such as

    drama, soccer, basketball, drumline, and choir, students

    learn the importance o discipline, practice,

    teamwork, humility, and grit. We oster a true

    sense o Team and Family where students

    look out or each other and help push

    each other to achieve great things.

    This commitment to kindness is

    exemplied by a story o an alumnus

    rom the Class o 2010. He returned

    home to Helena this summer ater

    completing his reshman year at Vanderbilt

    and stopped by Delta Collegiate High to donate his

    textbooks. Rather than sell his books back to the bookstore,

    he wanted KIPP to have them so that we could better

    prepare students or their rst year o college.

    KIPP Delta also works hard to expose students to new

    places, ideas, and hands-on learning opportunities. By the

    time they apply to college, most KIPP students will have

    visited dozens o college campuses across the country.

    They will have toured our nations capital, walked through

    the historic streets o Boston, and hiked canyons in the

    Utah wilderness on year-end eld lessons. Specialty classeslike Engineering engage students in experiential learning

    where they design and build their own electric cars to race

    in a national competition. All o these opportunities are

    meant to ignite interest in new activities and broaden the

    world view o students growing

    up in rural Arkansas.

    Rather than sell his books backto the bookstore, he wanted

    KIPP to have them so that wecould better prepare students or

    KIPP Deltas promise is to double the number o college ready students graduating rom low-income districts in Eastern

    Arkansas. There are several indicators that help us gauge our students academic progress as we work toward that goal.

    The rst o these indicators is the percentage o students meeting growth targets as measured by the MAP exam.

    Each student has an individual growth target or the year. Growth is measured as the dierence in points betweenthe beginning-o-year and end-o-year tests. A students growth target is equivalent to average growth nation-wide or

    students in the same grade with the same beginning-o-year score. KIPP Delta aims or at least 60% o students to meet

    their growth target in math and 55% in reading.

    In addition to whether students met or did not meet growth targets, it is important

    to look at the amount o growth students made relative to the growth they need

    to make to achieve grade level equivalency and college ready levels. A students

    growth target is based on the average growth o similar students nationwide.

    The chart above highlights the amount o growth KIPP Blytheville

    students made in 5th grade math over the 2010-2011 school year. Youcan see that only 9% o students came in above the 75th percentile

    in math and by the end o the year, 40% o the students perormed

    at or above the 75th percentile. In terms o the percent o

    students meeting growth, KIPP Blytheville was above the

    90th percentile nationally in both math and reading and

    a top perormer in the entire KIPP network.

    Another indicator that helps us gauge students academic progress is their perormance on the state administered

    Benchmark exam. KIPP Delta strives to outperorm the state averages or students scoring Procient or

    Advanced in all tested grades and subjects. This year we met or exceeded the state averages in almost all areas.

    One o the main predictors o college readiness is a students perormance on the ACT exam. Colleges and universities

    consider a student scoring a composite score o 19 or higher on the ACT to be college ready. KIPP Deltas goal is or

    all students to score at or above an 18 by the end o 12th grade. The average ACT score was 22.7 or the Class o 2010

    and 19.8 or the Class o 2011, both o which exceeded our perormance goal. We are also proud that 100 percent o

    KIPP Delta students sit or the ACT exam each year, while only 81 percent o Arkansas students take the ACT.

    16 KIPP Delta Public Schools | 2011 Annual Report

    Are our alumni

    progressing and achievingacademically?As previously stated, only 31 percent o all US students currently earn a college degree. Our nations low college degree

    attainment diminishes the lie choices and chances o thousands o students, particularly those with low incomes rom

    underserved communities like the Arkansas Delta.

    The rst step towards improving the college degree attainment o low-income students is to increase the number o highschool graduates. KIPP Deltas goal is to graduate within 4 years at least 90 percent o the students who begin ninth grade

    with us. For the 2010-2011 school year, our our-year graduation rate was 96 percent.

    Next, we must increase the number o low-income students

    matriculating to college. Some educational reports track

    the college matriculation o high school graduates, but this

    approach ails to count the students who drop out beore

    earning their high school diploma. We believe that trackingcollege matriculation rates should begin when students

    complete 8th grade to give a more accurate picture. Our

    goal is or 85 percent o students completing the 8th grade

    at KIPP Delta to matriculate to a 2 or 4-year college.

    College Matriculation

    We recognize that college is not the best option or all

    students, but it is vitally important that they have the

    ability and choice to attend. Gaining acceptance to a our-

    year college or university is a requirement or graduation

    rom KIPP Delta Collegiate High School. This acceptance

    provides students with choices and options or their

    uture, a reedom many low-income students do not have.

    KIPP Delta Collegiate High Schools Class o 2011 all

    received acceptances to our-year colleges and universities.

    Students have chosen to matriculate to the ollowing

    Ensuring the Transition

    As the second class o KIPP Delta graduates heads o to

    college this all, we are continually asking the question,

    How well did we prepare these students to succeed and

    graduate rom college? We learned many important

    lessons rom the Class o 2010 as they completed their

    frst year o college. Many students did not eel prepared

    to navigate the complexities o college lie without the

    tight-knit support structure they had at KIPP Delta. From

    securing dorm assignments to completing oreign language

    placement exams and registering or an appropriate load

    and mix o classes, the frst class o KIPP Delta graduates

    aced many unoreseen challenges in their frst year ocollege. These lessons are helping us to better prepare

    uture classes o graduates to hit the ground running at

    their college or university o choice.

    One o the ways we are working to smooth the

    transition between KIPP Delta and college is through

    a pilot partnership with The University o Arkansas at

    Fayetteville. They have structured a commitment acrossdepartments rom housing to the honors program to

    fnancial aid to support frst-generation college students

    and students o color to ensure they graduate.

    KIPP taught me to remember that the sky is the limitand i you believe it, you can surely achieve it.

    Are we building a

    sustainable people model?Great schools are made up o great teachers and talentedsta. Recruiting promising teachers and helping them grow

    into top-notch educators is one o our main organizational

    priorities. But hiring and developing great teachers is just

    the beginning. We must retain great teachers and sta

    each year to maintain consistency and excellence in our

    program. Our goal each school year is to retain at least 75%

    o our sta rom September 1 to August 30.

    One component o teacher retention is providing

    opportunities to develop leadership skills to grow both

    within and outside the classroom. KIPP Delta is ortunate

    to have access to myriad leadership development pathways

    and proessional development through the national KIPP

    Foundation. From building communities o practice

    during the annual week-long KIPP School Summit, to

    I continue to work at KIPP because I made a promise to 49

    ve-year-olds and their parents that I would do everything in

    my power to get them to and through college.erika mcmahan, assistant principal at KIPP Delta ELA

    KIPP teachers and sta rom around the country, KIPP

    Delta employees are exposed to exemplary proessional

    development and resources. In addition to high-quality

    sta development at individual schools, KIPP Delta also

    hosts three annual district-wide proessional development

    events to bring teachers together rom the Helena-West

    Helena campuses and the Blytheville campus to share

    culture and instructional best practices.

    Teachers interested in taking on more responsibility outside

    the classroom can participate in KIPP Foundations Teacher

    Leader, Leadership Team, or Principal Prep pathways

    programs. KIPP Delta is also actively seeking candidates

    to apply to the prestigious Fisher Fellowship program and

    prepare to open new schools in the Arkansas Delta.

    Are we building a

    sustainable fnancialmodel?One o the more unique aspects o the KIPP model is that each School Leader has control over their schools budget. This

    provides the School Leader with great fexibility in making stang decisions and determining programmatic priorities.

    It also requires that our organization has metrics in place to monitor the nancial health o each school and our central oce.

    Below are questions we ask ourselves to ensure the nancial sustainability o our schools and the KIPP Delta organization.

    By the year 2020, KIPP Delta will have grown to 13 schools across the Arkansas Delta and will serve nearly 4,000 students.

    At that tipping point we hope to ulll our promise o doubling the number o college-ready seniors graduating rom low

    income districts in Eastern Arkansas.

    Under Arkansas current public charter school law, KIPP Delta does not receive state unding or acilities and cannot levy

    local taxes to help make up the dierence. In 20102011, KIPP Delta raised $1.4 million in donations and grants to help make

    up or the 20-30% gap in public unding that our students receive. In 2011-2012, we must raise $500,000 beyond currentpledges and commitments to support our operating budget. This additional money enables us to run the programs that

    help us push students to and through college.

    In addition to our annual campaign, we are launching a capital campaign to raise $1 million to house our kindergarten

    KIPPsters in Helena and meet the increasing demand or enrollment. We cannot do it without your support. Please get in

    touch today to learn how you can help - A D.

    Are we ending each school year with cash on hand?

    How many months can KIPP Delta operate with existing cash on hand?

    Are actual expenditures less than or equal to approved budgets?
