KIPP Aspire Academy is a free public middle school (grades 5th - 8th). Our mission is to help our students cultivate the academic skills, intellectual habits, and character traits necessary to be successful in the top quality high schools, colleges, and the competitive world beyond.   

KIPP Aspire Academy opened in 2003, and over the last seven years, its students have consistently achieved significant gains on the state and national standardized exams. Students who entered Aspire Academy nearly two grade levels below grade levels in the 5th grade have doubled their reading scores and have ranked in the top 10 percent of students nationally in math.  

Aspire Academy's goal is that every student will go to college! To make this happen, we have an undying expectation that all of us will learn! Through the belief that there are no excuses, Archers learn the benefits of hard work ethic, being nice, and what it means to be part of a team and family!

KIPP schools are nationally recognized for their successful approach to educating students from under-resourced communities. Nationally, 80 percent of KIPP alumni who graduated KIPP in the eighth grade have enrolled in college, as compared to community averages of less than 20 percent.
