KIPP New Orleans Schools (KNOS) is the division of KIPP Schools active in the New Orleans metropolitan area.
By 2016 it became the charter school operator with the largest number of schools in New Orleans. Greg Larose of The Times Picayune wrote that KIPP New Orleans is "in many ways the symbol of the revolution", referring to the educational reforms in New Orleans that occurred post-Hurricane Katrina (2005). [1] In 2019 Della Haselle of the same publication described KIPP New Orleans as "one of the city's oldest and biggest charter school operators". [2]
In 2015 New Orleans established KIPP Through College, a program for students who attended KIPP schools. [1]
As of 2016, 61% of the newly graduated students of KIPP New Orleans went on to attend tertiary educational institutions or enter the United States Armed Forces. [1]
