“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. ”
