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.

Fantastic experience: Me encantó el primer año que estuvo en clases aprendiendo mucho el inglés muchas gracias

Fantastic experience: Es una de las mejores escuela de toda texas mi niño esta estudiando hay y eh visto la mejoría en el

Fantastic experience: It’s the best school

Fantastic experience: I love this school

Fantastic experience: I’m a student at the school and I’m really happy with the quality here like in how the teachers teach their kids and I also do love the cafeteria food. There is one time where they made tamales and there were so freaking good like I am in love with them now I’ve always liked tamales but these are so good and if you want your kid to try out a new school, just at least try Kipp there’s really good quality and really good food and there’s also programs for your kid like drama art probably even science I’m not sure I didn’t really get to experience all of them because I was in drama and trust me it was amazing! I was the stage crew manager there and at first it did seem a little difficult, but once you start getting to know the crew and all the people in drama then it’s gonna seem a lot easier and whenever you get to see what you created then you’re gonna be so happy but seriously try this school out. It’s amazing and I did have low grades at fist but my teacher helped me in different ways and then I got my grades up, so please just try this school From your student

Fantastic experience: i know quite a few of the teachers here, both past and present, and the amount of work, concern, and dedication that the staff puts into each of these kids is not just amazing, but very humbling and inspiring at the same time. kipp students dont only get top notch education, but from what has been evident to me is that they also gain a family. no amount of stars can describe, nor do justice to describe its teachers and most importantly, its students.

Fantastic experience: I think that every school has room to grow and at Comunidad they focus on growth and getting better. It's not a perfect place but it always strives to be better. Dual language is super important and it's one of the best models in the country and the original dual language school in the KIPP network.

Fantastic experience: I was a student at that school.

Fantastic experience: the perfect school with perfect teachers really like the dual lenguage program.

Fantastic experience: esta es la mejor escuela d austin texas y me encanta su aprendizaje en dos idiomas mi hija ha estado aki desde kinder garden y esta fenomenal
