KIPP
A network of free, open-enrollment, college preparatory public schools in under-resourced communities throughout the United States. There are currently 57 KIPP schools— including TEAM, Rise, and Newark Collegiate—in 17 states and Washington, D.C., serving more than 14,000 students.

Demographics
TEAM students, like all charter school students in New Jersey, are admitted by lottery. TEAM does not select or deny admissions on the basis of prior academic or behavioral record, or any other factor. As a result, the demographics and academic preparedness of TEAM students when they enter TEAM closely reflect those of neighborhood schools.
