School Uniforms

KIPP Texas Public Schools’ student dress code supports equitable educational access. It is written in a manner that does not reinforce stereotypes, and that does not reinforce or increase marginalization or oppression of any group based on race, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, household income, or body type/size.

SCHOOL DRESS CODE

The student dress code supports our goal of inspiring students to learn and focus on their academic excellence.

For the 2023-24 school year, students will be allowed to wear:

  • KIPP collar shirt or t-shirt issued by the student’s current school
  • Khaki, blue or black pants*
  • Skirts, or shorts that are 3 inches above the knee or longer*

*Please note that bottoms should be without holes, rips, or tears.
