Impact Evaluation of KIPP Schools (2005), KIPP Foundation
EPI conducted an impact evaluation of the KIPP Schools based on analyses of school-level Stanford 9 and Stanford 10 (SAT) data supplied by the KIPP Foundation. KIPP, an acronym for the Knowledge Is Power Program, are tuition-free, open-enrollment, college preparatory, public schools, serving high-need communities. The study found that 5th-grade cohorts at KIPP schools posted substantially greater academic gains on the SAT than what is considered normal, a finding consistent with prior research on KIPP Schools.
