KIPP Columbus continues to rank as one of the top five schools for academic growth of any school in the state of Ohio, and is a top performing urban school in the state for academic growth. In our first and second classes of graduating high school seniors in the spring of 2020 and 2021, 100% of students were accepted to college and/or military with over $30 million in merit scholarships from colleges and universities earned. Together with families and the community, KIPP creates joyful, academically excellent schools that prepare students with the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose -- college, career, and beyond.

On Tuesday, these KCM students had the wonderful opportunity to visit KCP and read I Am Every Good Thing by Derrick Barnes and Gordon C. James to our kindergarten students.

What an incredible opportunity to not only share the joy of reading, but to also lead by example and serve as role models for our younger students.

We are so proud of them for representing KCM and showing our kindergarteners what strong readers and leaders look like!

The KCH Freshman Forum was held on Friday, September 3rd. This assembly provided an opportunity to celebrate our freshman students who are excelling academically, meeting our school wide attendance goal, and consistently demonstrating our INSPIRE Values.

The staff also used this time to strengthen 9th-grade culture, build community, and recognize students for their positive contributions to our school. Way to go, KIPPsters!
