KIPP Austin Public Schools was founded in 2002 based on the belief that all students can and will learn when provided with a quality education. All KIPP Austin Public Schools are located in East Austin, drawing students from the entire eastern corridor, including Manor and Del Valle as well as areas of Round Rock and Pflugerville. Our students are faced with many harsh realities every day—in their neighborhoods there is a prevalence of poverty and teenage pregnancy, as well as juvenile and gang-related crime.
Because we serve students who are historically educationally disadvantaged, their ultimate achievements are all the more impressive; a testament to our belief that all students have what it takes to be successful in college and beyond.
Every day, KIPP Austin Public Schools students demonstrate their personal commitments to achieve beyond expectations, blossom into committed citizens and leaders, and create new futures for themselves.
