About KIPP
KIPP Academy Lynn is a public charter middle school serving grades five through eight which opened its doors August 9, 2004.
KIPP Lynn works with a population of students who have been historically underserved - 87% of our students qualify for the free or reduced meal program and many enter below grade level.
Our students are 55% Hispanic, 25% African-American, 13% Caucasian and 7% other.
KIPP Academy Lynn is a FREE public school modeled after the nationally recognized, tested and proven Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) in the South Bronx, New York and Houston, Texas. These schools work with a population of students similar to Lynn and, as measured by standard test scores, are the highest performing middle schools in their school districts. Principal Josh Zoia was a teacher at KIPP Bronx and was instrumental in building the success of the school. He brings that same knowledge and enthusiasm to Lynn.
