The criteria to qualify for the award have become more rigorous each year. Title I schools must demonstrate the achievement level of twice the schoolwide API growth target, meet all significant subgroup targets, and achieve twice the API growth target for the socioeconomically disadvantaged subgroup for two consecutive years. Schools also must have made AYP for two years in a row, and at least 40 percent of the enrolled students in each school must meet the poverty index.Test scores are an imperfect measure of a school, but broad measures of success such as these, sustained over years, in schools serving our poorest students is truly impressive.

hey.. that's cool.
for all your constant bellowing against KIPP and other charter schools... we see KIPP gettin' a high five from the city.
whoopdeedoo.
There's no doubt that KIPP schools tend to have high test scores. And that's great for the kids who are there. The complexities are the way KIPP schools self-select for especially motivated and compliant kids from especially motivated and compliant families, while being touted as a solution for public schools.
