“My son started at KMAM in 5th grade, in the founding class, and now he has been with KIPP Memphis for seven years. KIPP has really been accommodating and good for me and my son. They make me feel like my son really brings something special to the school, and I feel like he wouldn’t get the same opportunities at any other school. At first I was nervous about sending him to a new school, because he has autism, but the principals promised me that they would take care of him, and that is what they have done. ”
— Sharron Lowe, KIPP Memphis Parent

“I started 1st grade at KIPP Memphis Collegiate Elementary four years ago, and now I am a 5th grader at KIPP Memphis Collegiate Middle. KIPP is helping us every year so we can climb the mountain to college. I like that the teachers encourage us to be gritty and to work hard. This makes me feel good because having been here for first, second, third, fourth, and now fifth grade, I’ve become a lot smarter.”
