KIPP Sharpstown College Prep

KIPP Sharpstown is a college-preparatory charter school that aims to serve students in the Sharpstown and Gulfton communities. The Team & Family of KIPP Sharpstown College Prep work to ensure our students internalize the habits of self-reliance, honor, achievement, responsibility to others, and persistence. These values allow our students to become life-long learners capable of excelling in college and transforming tomorrow.

Offering athletics in schools is essential for fostering physical health and well-being among students, promoting an active lifestyle from an early age. Beyond fitness, sports teach valuable life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and perseverance, shaping well-rounded individuals prepared for challenges. We offer volleyball, soccer, basketball, baseball, flag football, track, and cheerleading.

Our students engage in rigorous academic instruction through our implementation of Eureka Math, Wheatley Reading and Writing, and Amplify Science curriculum. Additionally, all of our 8th graders participate in Algebra 1. Our goal is to ensure our students are prepared to engage in their future AP high school classes in preparation for their college coursework. Our KIPPsters have shown significant academic growth during our school’s years of existence.

Additionally, every student selects one of our fine art courses to participate in upon enrolling on campus. Students engage deeply in dance, choir, orchestra, visual arts, or theater throughout their middle school tenure. Students demonstrate the development of their craft through ongoing performances and showcases, with a goal of participation in elite competitions by the time they exit our program. Our vision for student success encompasses various areas of achievement, as we recognize the individuality of each KIPPster who walks through our doors.

KIPPsters can participate in clubs and organizations, including Student Ambassadors, Junior National Honor Society, drama, and Hispanic Heritage Club.
