On average, KIPP DC fifth graders enter KEY Academy two years below grade level, performing in the bottom third of U.S. fifth graders in reading and the bottom half of the country's fifth graders in math on the Stanford-9 exam. Our "No Shortcuts, No Excuses" approach to learning has enabled our seventh graders to score in the top 10% of seventh graders nationwide in math on the Stanford-9 in 2004.
