Test Results After four years of intensive academics at KIPP Academy Nashville, students who enrolled significantly below grade level leave 8th grade performing at or above grade level. In 2009, Tennessee ranked our students as 4th highest in the state based on academic gains made during the school year among peer students within the same socio-economic and demographic sectors.   On the 2008-2009 TCAP exams, 91% of KIPP students scored Advanced or Proficient in reading, and 92% scored Advanced or Proficient in math. We are climbing the mountain to college!
