2011 ANNUAL REPORT
1 | KIPP Metro AtlAntA 2011 AnnuAl reporT
The students who completed 8th grade at KIPP WAYS Academy and KIPP South Fulton Academy matriculated to high school in 2007 and received support through their high school years from the KIPP Through College (KTC) program. KTC provided them valuable support and guidance through their high school years to ensure their journey to college would be realized. Ninety-five percent of these students graduated from high school and 85% of them received college acceptances. The next phase of support involves ensuring the students persist in realizing their dreams of obtaining a college diploma. The Class of 2011’s journey through college has just begun.
Nationally, KIPP students complete college at a rate that is four times the rate of comparable students from low-income communities. To ensure students succeed, it is crucial to build a foundation that will set them up for success. Each year, KIPP Metro Atlanta refines its programs and instructional delivery models to ensure this. As the first class of students graduated from various high schools across the city and state, the doors opened at KIPP Atlanta Collegiate, KIPP Metro Atlanta’s first KIPP high school. KIPP Atlanta Collegiate will continue the tradition of focus and rigor instilled in the students in middle school and will create a strong bridge to
college. Additionally, plans are being finalized to create KIPP Metro Atlanta’s first elementary schools which will allow, for the first time, a K-12 KIPP option for students in Atlanta beginning in 2012.
KIPP Metro Atlanta’s work is focused not only on ensuring that students can get to college, but also that they will achieve their ultimate goals of attaining a college degree and getting through college.
The journey in Atlanta began in 2003, when KIPP South Fulton Academy and KIPP WAYS Academy opened their doors to their founding class of students.
The work to support these students and their future classmates involved significant commitments from not only the
students, but also their parents, teachers, and principals. These students committed to rising to high expectations,
not making excuses, working hard, as well as attending school 7:30 am until 5:00 pm, every other Saturday, and for
three weeks each summer. The students have persevered through the years with hours of homework each night
and rigorous class assignments and tests, but also with a balance of various sports activities, a fine arts program,
and enriching end-of-the-year field lessons to locations such as Washington, DC, the mountains of north Carolina,
new york City, and for one class, Ghana, West Africa.

KIPP’S coMMItMent to ItS AlUMnI DoeS not enD UPon MAtrIcUlAtIon to college. The KIpp Through College (KTC) staff
keeps in close contact with alumni and provides academic and social guidance to them along their journey through college.
Assistance with course selection, tutoring, or finding and obtaining summer internships will be provided throughout their
college experience.
During middle school, KIpp Metro Atlanta students receive assistance identifying the proper high school for them through the
program. KTC supports the academic, professional and character skills needed for KIpp alumni to be successful in high school,
college, and the competitive world beyond. each KIpp region develops its own program specially structured to address the needs
of their students and alumni. KTC programs aim to strengthen the alumni retention efforts locally as well as nationally.
The KIpp Metro Atlanta KTC staff provides students guidance in navigating the numerous high school options and application
process. once in high school, students continue to receive assistance from KTC including tutorials, workshops, SAT test
preparation, academic monitoring, and college tours. KIpp Metro Atlanta also hosts an annual college fair to introduce colleges
and universities to KIpp and to ensure the students are exposed to the various colleges and universities that are available to them.
The journey to and through college
KIPP AtlAntA collegIAteMaintaining momentum, strong academic discipline and connections with the “team and family” that was built in middle school are key factors to ensuring that the journey to college continues. KIPP’s academic rigor and valuable support that are available with a KIPP high school option in Atlanta is further commitment to these goals. During the 2010-2011 school year preparations were officially underway to open KIPP Atlanta Collegiate (KAC). KAC’s first class of 9th grade students began their journey to college in the summer of 2011. The students spent their first week of high school on the campus of Emory University- beginning with the end in mind- to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of what it will take during their four years of high school to complete the journey to college, and to actually experience life on a college campus.
KIPP Metro AtlAntA To open eleMenTAry SChoolSTo ensure more students successfully complete the journey to and through college, it is important to start the journey earlier to catch students before they can fall behind. KIPP Metro Atlanta embraced this philosophy and over the past year embarked on developing and submitting two elementary school charters which were submitted to Atlanta Public Schools and were both approved. KIPP STRIVE Primary and KIPP Vision Primary will open on the campuses of KIPP STRIVE Academy Middle School and KIPP Vision Academy Middle School, creating two K-8 campuses. The high expectations and rigor will begin in kindergarten and give students a strong academic base that will help ensure their journey to and through college is successful. Families in Atlanta will finally have the option of a K-12 KIPP experience for their children beginning in 2012.

“I was not the greatest student in terms of behavior,” said Jarius Allen, a former student from KIPP South Fulton Academy. “But the staff and teachers kept on me and explained how I should use my leadership skills in a good way.” After matriculating to North Springs High School, Jarius began to appreciate the discipline and rigor that KIPP South Fulton Academy had instilled in him. He realized the long school days and hours of homework he persevered through at KIPP South Fulton prepared him to handle high school. “High school seemed easy after KIPP,” he noted. He began to seek our more challenging work, so he took advantage of a dual-enrollment option and began college classes at Clayton State University during his junior year. It was also at this time that Jarius began to return to KSFA to assist his former teachers and tutor KSFA students. He wanted to give back to those who believed in him during his challenging middle school years. In the spring of 2011, Jarius gained acceptance to Georgia Tech and became one of the 1,000 winners of the prestigious Gates Millennium Scholarship, which will pay his tuition at Georgia Tech as well as a graduate degree if he chooses to pursue one. “KIPP instilled a work ethic in me that made it possible for me to be at Georgia Tech today.”

“Before I came to KIPP, I did not even know what college was,” said Deranda Butler, a founding student of KIPP WAYS Academy and recent graduate of Grady High School. Deranda believes the support she received while a student at KIPP WAYS Academy set her on the path to college. Deranda had not thought much about college before coming to KIPP as she spent most of her time and energy assisting her mother with the care of her younger brother who is autistic. The supportive and caring environment at KIPP WAYS Academy allowed Deranda to become focused and engaged while at school. She set a goal of becoming a journalist and, with the help of KIPP Through College, she chose to attend Grady High School. At Grady she wrote for the school newspaper and won several awards including a first place editorial column award from the Southern Interscholastic Press Association (SIPA) and an editorial column award from the National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA). Today Deranda is pursuing a degree in journalism from Georgia State University. She received a $20,000 scholarship from Dell and the Hope Scholarship. “KIPP paved the path to college for me,” said Deranda. “ I just had to follow it.”

When a challenge arises
on Friday, December 10, 2010, a fire broke out at KIpp WAyS
Academy in the early hours before school began. Fortunately,
no one was hurt in the blaze, but the facility and classrooms
were all heavily damaged. Students and their families were
saddened and stunned by the fire, but their worries were
alleviated as hundreds of volunteers worked tirelessly over
the weekend to ensure the relocation facility was ready
for the students to seamlessly return to classes first thing
Monday morning. businesses and organizations in the
community rallied to support our students.
The KIPP WAYS Academy Recovery Fund raised more than $100,000 from numerous individuals and companies. Support also came from the KIPP Team and Family. KIPPsters from around the country conducted fundraisers and sent donations to the Recovery Fund.
Renovation work began immediately following the fire and the facility was completed in time for the start of the 2011-2012 school year. The fire may have heavily damaged a building, but the experience taught the students important life lessons about the power of community, teamwork, and perseverance. The newly renovated building will serve as a beautiful reminder of these important lessons.
