KIPP San Jose Collegiate opened in August 2008. It was founded by Melissa Gonzales, who had been one of the original teachers at KIPP Heartwood Academy, a middle school also in East San Jose.[1] As of the 2016–2017 school year, there were 499 students, of whom 75% were Latino, 22% were Asian/Pacific Islander, and 1% were African American.[2] In the 2015–16 school year, 81% were socio-economically disadvantaged and 7.9% were English learners.[3]
The school has achieved high passing percentages on state proficiency tests,[4][5] including in 2015, when many other charter schools' performance on the tests declined.[6] In 2015 it appeared in the top 2% in a Washington Post ranking of high schools by willingness to challenge students by administering upper-level tests.[7] In 2017 it was ranked 23rd in the US by U.S. News & World Report.[8]
KIPP San Jose Collegiate's sports teams are the Wolfpack.[9]
