A Giant Win: The City Gets a KIPP High School

Next summer, graduates of KIPP San Francisco Bay Academy and KIPP Bayview Academy will finally have a KIPP high school in the city to call home.

KIPP made history in San Francisco this past July by securing a high school charter with a 6-1 vote by the SFUSD school board. 

The new high school, named KIPP San Francisco College Prep, will open next August with approximately 120 freshmen.  Caroline Gifford, who was most recently on the leadership team at KIPP San Jose Collegiate, will lead the school. 

Look out for news later on this school year as SF College Prep secures a school building and facilities, as eighth graders from SF Bay and Bayview continue to enroll (who will be the first graduates of the first KIPP high school in San Francisco!), and as SF College Prep hosts its first lottery for final spots in the freshman class this spring!

If you have a sibling at KIPP San Francisco Bay or KIPP Bayview and would like them to enroll at KIPP San Francisco College Prep for next Fall, please visit the KIPP Bay Area Schools website for more information and enrollment forms!
