In 2014, we opened our doors at KIPP East to 100 kindergarten students and their families. Five years later, we are now a PK-8th, growing to be a full pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Our vision is to offer a truly excellent education for families in New Orleans East, an area of New Orleans that has historically not had first-class options. We are part of our community and truly a neighborhood school, with 80 percent of KIPP East scholars residing in New Orleans East.
