About

KIPP AMP Charter School, a K-12 institution in Brooklyn, is part of the Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP) network, known for its college-preparatory focus. The school demonstrates strong academic performance in its elementary and middle grades, with ELA and Math proficiency rates well above the citywide median, nearing the 75th percentile. For high school, the Algebra I Regents pass rate of 79.4% is notably strong compared to citywide averages, which typically range from 45-55%. The school emphasizes a "whole-child approach," blending rigorous academics with vibrant arts programs, including a world-class jazz music program and various clubs and sports teams. Parents generally commend the school's dedicated teachers and strict rules. However, some areas of concern emerge from student feedback, with low favorability regarding fair conflict resolution, bullying, and physical fights. The school's suspension rate is also elevated. While parents largely report positive experiences, some have noted issues with supervision and inconsistent homework checking, and the extended school hours can lead to student exhaustion. KIPP AMP is committed to serving a diverse student body, with a high percentage of Black and Hispanic students, and a strong focus on supporting economically disadvantaged families. The school is located in Crown Heights and operates with a mission to prepare students for success in college and beyond.
