This school and its leaders are horrible. They dont care about children safety, they dont call parents back in regards to threats against childs safety. They lack in communication skills with parents and students. Unprofessional and irresponsible.

Leaving the older kids out in the cold while you let the little kids in is crazy work. Like I get that they are little but still we should matter to you ,you know? At the same time some kids have gotten hurt and bled but y'all sometimes refuse to acknowledge the situation. Y'all have poorly trained staff and also by the way I am a kid typing this which is kinda crazy to believe a kid has to type all of this from their experience. Also I am not making up lies here I am telling the TRUTH and some of the reviews can prove that I am right even if the news interviews some kids in the school you'll probably get the same response that I put in this review from some of the kids because it is true. So if anybody is trying to look for a good school for their kid please do not choose this one at all, please and thank you.

I need to say KIPP Aspire is not for the faint of heart, it is for those that understand that education is one of the key to success in life. Yes, it's challenging for both the student and parent, but the commitment from the school staff (office workers AND teachers) makes it all worth it. Ms. Elizabeth in the front office is always kind and on top of things. Some people think this school is "strict", but in my opinion it is that they expect accountability; from the students the parents and themselves. I can't say enough about how happy we ( including my daughter) are that we found out about KIPP

Great school in San Antonio. Teaches life skills, character development, and all required academic standards from the state. The teachers visit every house before the student enrolls to welcome the student and answer any questions parents or students have about the school. They communicate weekly with parents on a paycheck, 3 weeks for progress reports, and 9 weeks for report cards. In addition, the administrators and teachers give cell phone numbers to all parents and students. I LOVE KIPP and the education it has to offer to the children of San Antonio!

My two daughters attend KIPP ASPIRE ACADEMY. They love the fact that they are treated like human beings. Yes, they can be very strict and have many rules, however, the "real world" is lead by many rules that we must follow as productive citizens. It takes a lot of work and teamwork from the teachers, students, administration and parents to make this school work. This is not your typical public school, where you drop off your kid in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon and never know how they are doing in school because the teachers are so overwhelmed with so many kids. A typical middle school has over 900-1200 children attending. KIPP ASPIRE ACADEMY HAS A LITTLE LESS THAN 500, so you better believe that the majority of the teachers know your kids by name. I love that my kids attend this wonderful school.
