Are fifth grade applicants to KIPP schools tested to determine their grade level? If yes, and they test below fifth grade, are they still admitted?
There is no test for KIPP students entering fifth grade. However, we find that students who enter KIPP are performing, on average, one to two years below grade level on national norm-referenced exams. If a student does not seem ready for KIPP’s college prep curriculum, KIPP may meet with his or her parents to discuss options, including grade retention.
