KIPP: Columbus2014-2015 ANNUAL REPORT


2/31

At KIPP, we believe.We believe in the creation of inspired lives produced by desire,

discipline, and dedication.

We are not frightened by the challenges of reality but believe that we

can change our world and our place within it.

We work, plan, create, and dream. Our talent, character, and

integrity will be the tools we need to build a better tomorrow.

We believe that we can take this place, this time, and the people

here and build a better place, a better time, and a better people.

As a team and a family, we will either find a way or make one.

In 2006, a group of committed educational and community

leaders won a competition to attract the KIPP network of high

performing free, public, college preparatory schools to Columbus.

In 2008, KIPP Columbus began enrolling 5th graders and opened its

first middle school, KIPP Journey Academy, in the Linden

neighborhood.

In the spring of 2016, this first class of KIPP Columbus students will

graduate from high school and matriculate to college in the fall.

Current students served on our new campus off Agler Road face

many of the same challenges as those we now refer to as alumni.

All students qualify for free breakfast and lunch, and many

incoming 5th grade students are two or more years behind grade

level. However, KIPP students persevere with a sense of grit and

optimism to prove the possible on their journey to and through

college.

Every minute of the school day is infused with building the

knowledge, skills, and character necessary for success in college

and life. In a safe and supportive environment, students grow as

people and scholars.By creating a transformational education for

our students, we ensure that they have the opportunity to live lives

full of choice and meaning.

Our KIPPsters matriculate to some of the Columbuss best college-

preparatory high schools, have received nearly 2 million dollars in

high school scholarships, and will continue to build a better

tomorrow as they attend colleges across the nation.

In partnership with our community, KIPP Columbus continues to

positively impact the life trajectory of our students, and it is with a

relentless commitment to KIPPs mission of toand throughcollege

that we enter the years ahead prepared to expand our impact.

To and though,

The Honorable Algenon L. Marbley Hannah D. PowellChairman of the Board Executive Director

At KIPP Columbus, we understand that a singular focus on any one

measure or assessment of the health of the school can create

an incomplete picture of our success inside and outside the

classroom.

Therefore, the KIPP Foundation uses the Healthy Schools and

Regions (HSR) framework to provide a holistic set of indicators by

which we measure our progress.

At KIPP Columbus, we continuously guide and evaluate our

effectiveness through testing, surveys, and personal feedback.

Most importantly, we use The Six Essential Questions to provide a

yardstick by which we can measure our schools progress and

ensure we are focused on our mission and vision as we expand our

impact.

focus our recruitment efforts on specific high-

needs neighborhoods within the city.

Our goal is to ensure every student has the opportunity to attend

college and experience a life filled with opportunity and choice.

We actively recognize that this takes more than just enrolling them

at KIPP Columbus; we must keep them here. As such, we closelymonitor our attrition rate as a lead indicator of how well we aremaintaining our commitment to our KIPPsters and their families.

The longitudinal data of our 8th grade KIPPsters before they complete

their time with KIPP is one of the best indicators of the impact of a KIPP

education. Over the course of four years, the Class of 2019 cohort moved

from significantly underperforming compared to their peers in ColumbusCity School, to outperforming them in both reading and in math.

On average, all KIPPstersare achieving more than one year of

growth in every academic year at KIPP. In math, studentsaveraged two or more years worth of growth in just one year.

KIPP Columbus calculates student growth on the NWEA MAP

(Measures of Academic Progress) assessment, which allows us to

measure each students baseline at the beginning of the year

and then their growth compared to their peers nationally. The

growth magnitude measures a students absolute growth

relative to typical growth. A growth magnitude of 1 means the

student exactly met typical growth (but did not exceed it).
