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 participated in--and won--a competition to attract the

KIPP network of high performing charter schools to Columbus. In

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

first middle school, KIPP Journey Academy, in the Linden

neighborhood.

Every student at KIPP Journey Academy had one collective

goal: do everything possible to climb the mountain to and

through college. With over 90% of them qualifying for free or

reduced-price meals and the majority entering 5th grade

significantly behind academically, college seemed like an

unattainable goal, but they used every moment at KIPP toadvance toward college. They read hundreds of books, solved

thousands of math problems, and wrote countless essays, but

most importantly, they grew as people more prepared to

change our world and their place within it.

We promoted our third class to high school; the class of 2018.

Our KIPPsters matriculated to some of our communitys best

college-preparatory high schools, and to date, KIPP Columbusalumni have received over 1 million dollars in high school

scholarships.

With the support of the community, KIPP Columbus was able to

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

relentless commitment to KIPPs mission of to and through

college that we enter the years ahead prepared to expand our

impact and ensure even more students in our community.

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.

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 2017 cohort moved

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

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 didnt exceed it).
