Yo soy una mana de un alumno en Kipp Adelante y mi experiencia con la escuela en primer lugar ha sido la educación estoy impresionada con el alto nivel académico que tienen a comparación de otras escuelas de el área la seguridad, la atención, el cuidado y la disciplina son tan vistos que yo como madre me voy a casa tranquila sabiendo que no solo a mi hijo si no a todos los estudiantes en general son educados disciplinados y tratados con respeto y sé que en Kipp Adelante saldrán graduados jóvenes con altas espectativas de seguir sus estudios y tener un futuro mejor . La comunidad en el área también me impresiona la gente es amable ay mucha seguridad y el área donde se ubica la escuela para mí es perfecta porque los estudiantes tengan una mejor concentración sin tantas distracciones alrededor . Kipp Adelante se ha convertido para mí y mi familia una de las mejores opciones en inscribir a mi hijo para tener un mejor rendimiento académico yo sinceramente le doy mil gracias principalmente a los maestros que siento que son los que mas trabajo tienen porque son los que les pasan su sabiduría y enseñanza a todos sus alumnos a la directora también porque ella maneja un gran puesto y gran desempeño en la escuela junto con todo el personal que son subdirectores maestros de apoyo para niños con educación especial maestros terapistas muchachas de la oficina que ellas siempre nos reciben a los padres y nos dan ayuda en preguntas que tenemos sin todos ellos la escuela no funcionaría tan bien como asta el día de hoy y si recomendaria a más familias a inscribir a sus hijos a Kipp Adelante y gracias por todo el apoyo .

Por que no solo los apoya cuando son sus alumnos, si no despues de que dejan el plantel. yo creo que es cuando mas se preocupa kipp, x encontrarles la mejor escuela para seguir y alcanzar sus metas. mis 2 hijos ya han terminado el colegio y tienen buen trabajo y el 3ro. ahora se me va a Princeton, Gracias Dios, gracias a Kipp Adelante, gracias a todos los maestros al sr. Rosas que siempre me ayudo. Padre o tutor si estas buscando la mejor escuela para tu hijo no te arrepentiras de escoger a Kipp Adelante. GRACIAS KIPP ADELANTE

I graduated 8th grade from this school and I loved it so much I had my baby brother enroll when he was old enough. I love that it's different than other schools. That they have parent square and you have access to communicate with the teachers. I wish they did more trips though when I went to Kipp 5th graders when to LA,6th graders to San Francisco, 7th graders to Washington and 8th graders to Boston. Everything was very different but I can honestly say it's better than other schools in that area. I am really hoping they do more trips later in that would be great.

Hello This school has been one of the most appreciated because all these years that my daughter Vanessa and my son Eric have been there, all the staff have been excellent people in helping to reach school goals.
I have also been very happy because of the excellent communication they have had with me when any difficulty arises. Vanessa is now in grade 11 and the KIPP team has been following up on communication with her to help her get through college.
They have always been helping and motivating Eric to achieve his goals even though he has Autism. They are all very well prepared and are always updated on changes of any kind. I am very grateful to all the staff at KIPP ADELANTE.
KIPP May you be successful in everything you do.

Best school! I had to remove my daughter from her previous school due to bullying. Kipp has a strict policy on no bullying. The director was so kind and met us aside and explained and put our concerns at ease. My daughter has been achieving and doing better academically and socially. As a parent I have seen such an improvement in her and that makes me happy. Kipp adelante has been super in keeping kids busy and reading and focused.

Kipp Adelante is a great school. Two of my kids attended Kipp Adelante. Last year my oldest son graduated from Kipp Adelante and got to attend a private high school. My son's counselor and teachers helped him find private schools that would offer an excellent opportunity for him and guided him through the whole process as my child is now in a great private high school with 95% financial aid coverage. Kipp Adelante continues to check up on my child and help him when needed. My youngest son is still in Kipp Adelante and going through the same process as my oldest son. They provide a lot of support and guidance. We are so thankful for Kipp Adelante and all of the work they do for our students.

My Daughters experience at KIPP Adelante Preparatory Academy is Extremely Wonderful. This school provides so much support and love to the students. They are100% on point making sure the children are getting the Educational knowledge they need in Reading, Math, History, Science, Writing etc,.. They provide so many fun activities for the children to participate in away from all the hard school work that's being provided. They play Basketball, Soccer, Volley ball, and other sports activities. I adore the Principal and the Teacher attitude towards the children and Parents. Arts and Craft Market Day was Wonderful and a great chance for the children to present their Creative Talent to the table to be seen by their peers at school and the Staff,. They were able to sell their work teaching them how to be a part of the business. LOOOOOOOOVE IT. KIPP school presents fun knowledge parent meetings and gives parents a chance to volunteer in the school. This is one the BEST school by far my children has attended, Thank You Thank YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. Rosalind

Wonderful wonderful school! KIPP was the perfect fit for my daughter. The school is not too big, focuses entirely on Middle School aged kids grades 5th to 8th and the leadership is excellent. During the coronavirus pandemic the kids have been in school in person 4 days a week and they have 1 online day. They frequently do assessments on the students to see where they're at academically. If you have any questions or problems regarding the Chromebooks, services or need help from staff, they get back to you immediately. I can't wait until my other daughter gets into the 5th grade so I can enroll her at KIPP too. :)

I cant say enough about the school. I had initially tried to get my child into OFarrell but my kid didnt get picked for the lottery so I came here. I am so glad things worked out the way they did! KIPP has about 320 or so students so its not a huge school of a thousand students. This school is focused and geared towards middle schoolers (grades 5th thru 8th grade) and its wonderful. During this pandemic I was so satisfied with the school as they slowly eased into a hybrid model. The Principal Mrs. Minix is very loving and was in constant contact with parents, frequently sending out emails with reports of when and how schools would be returning to in-person learning. During the distance learning I was able to hear all the teachers during ZOOM and they are all so nice, patient and understanding. I recommend this school.

KIPP Adelante middle school is the best! This school is a little gem in southeast San Diego that's kind of hidden away and not very many people know about it. I really like the size of it, not too big. It feels kind of like a little private school. Most of the teachers are pretty young and you can tell they have a lot of enthusiasm for teaching. Looking at State scores online, the academics are pretty good too. I only wish they also had a high school campus so my child could stay in the KIPP charter school system. Thank you KIPP!
