KIPP TRUTH Academy is a free, open enrollment, college preparatory middle school located in south Oak Cliff on Kiest and Lancaster. We have been featured on Oprah, 60 minutes and recently on the documentary “Waiting for Superman” which premiered in Dallas in November depicting the education system in the United States and the new revolution of charter schools.
At KIPP TRUTH Academy there is no tuition cost-we are a public charter school. As a public charter school, we have to conform to the same rules and regulations traditional public schools and administer the same state exams. However, we are our own district and do not belong to the DISD.
KIPP TRUTH’s mission is to equip traditionally underserved students with the character traits and skills necessary to succeed in top-quality high schools, colleges and the competitive world. KIPP TRUTH Academy has been in Dallas since 2003 and is Academically Recognized for the past 3 years . We want to continue providing top quality education to traditionally underserved students by putting every KIPPster in the path of success and so far 89% of KIPP students that have completed a KIPP middle school have matriculated to college!
