"KIPP, is absolutely the best charter school in philadelphia. My daughter is doing very well at this school. Terren is currently a 7th grader. I love that fact that the school supports college education. From naming the classrooms after colleges to the intense daily schedule. The teachers are dedicated. The kids enjoy coming to saturday school. My daughter has gone to Washington DC, Utah and California, not for only doing a good job but these trips give them a change to explore other places besides Philadelphia. This term she looking forward to going to Atlanta and in the 8th grade Puerto Rico. This institution of learning has the best education and the best set of teachers that you could ever ask for. I have referred 4 families to Kipp this year and the parents tell me the kids love it. I am proud to be a KIPP parent. Shanta Richardson"

"I love KPCS! My daughter has attended KPCS since the beginning, and after 4 years,Class of 2011, it has been one of the best choices I have ever made for her education. Granted, in the beginning it was very difficult to adjust to the hours and homework schedule, but she did it! The staff is available for the children long after school hours and the children are available for each other. The school not only teach the children on a high educational level but on a high life level. They are taught how to respect people of all ages, race and backgrounds. KIPPsters leave with a well rounded sense of life ready to enter the top private,charter, and boarding schools in the nation. I would highly recommend any KIPP charter school for parents who want their child to be ready to enter the 'real world', with a 'real education'."

"I love KIPP! I have referred several students to this innovative program. The teachers truly enjoy teaching; the principal is second to none; and the students are some of the best in the city of Philadelphia. I am the proud parent of two Kippsters. My children will be well prepared for high school, college and yes, graduate school."
