This annual report details the achievement records of the 49 KIPP schools that have significant test results. Almost all show strong student achievement gains. For the first time, the report summarizes the results for the 1,000 students who have completed all four years at 25 KIPP middle schools. On average, students jumped from the 40th to the 82nd percentile in math and from the 32nd to the 60th percentile in reading.
