One day our nation will know Newark and Camden, New Jersey, as cities of world-class public education. KIPP New Jersey Public Schools are part of the nationally recognized “Knowledge Is Power Program” non-profit network of college-preparatory, free, public charter schools educating elementary, middle, and high school students.
In 2002, 80 fifth graders walked through the doors of our first middle school in Newark, New Jersey and KIPP New Jersey has since grown to educate 8,588 students in grades K-12 across 17 schools in Newark and Camden. More than 90% of KIPP New Jersey students currently qualify for free or reduced meals. By 2027, KIPP New Jersey will provide a world-class education to over 9,300 students across twelve schools in Newark and five in Camden.
