KIPP Austin Comunidad

Negative experience: Completely Unacceptable Treatment of Special Needs Child My autistic son, who has a very limited vocabulary, was left in a soiled diaper for an extended period of time at KIPP Austin Comunidad. Instead of providing proper care, staff called me claiming he had diarrhea and needed to be picked up. When I arrived, he was not sick — he had simply been left unchanged. When I followed up, the Special Education Coordinator admitted their “protocol” is to not change children at all, even those in special education who cannot fully communicate their needs. This is neglectful, unhygienic, and harmful to a child’s dignity. Parents should be able to trust that their children’s basic needs will be met at school, especially for students with disabilities. Based on my experience, this school failed my child and showed no urgency to correct the problem.

Negative experience: I am writing to express my concern regarding the recent experience I had while picking up my child from school . Unfortunately, the process was quite disorganized, and my child was kept waiting for a long period without clear communication or supervision.

Fantastic experience: I have had my children for years now at KIPP schools and Comunidad has been doing great with their education. My Kindergartener child has learned to read and write since PreK4 and every teacher they have had has been very caring and supportive! The communication skills are great, they answer messages the same day to our concerns. School bus drivers are part of this team success, they don’t let kids off the bus without proper information. The front office staff is always very welcoming and prepared to ask for IDs even if we seem familiar. The school principal, Ms. Doyle is always present for after school activities and award ceremonies, she’s very involved with her team and family. My children feel safe and comfortable sharing their concerns at any moment with their teachers and that makes me feel safe as well.
