About the Business
KIPP Polaris Academy for Boys is a school located at 9636 Mesa Drive in Houston, Texas, United States. Since opening its doors in June 2007, the institution has been dedicated to equipping young men with the academic skills, social competencies, and character traits necessary to succeed in life and become influential leaders in their community.
The school offers a range of athletic programs, including baseball, football, and soccer, to promote physical health and well-being among students while teaching valuable life skills such as teamwork and perseverance. In addition to core academic subjects, KIPP Polaris ensures that all eighth graders take Algebra I, with opportunities for increased rigor and earning high school credits before entry.
With a focus on preparing students for college and beyond, the school also offers elective classes such as physical education, orchestra, and computer sciences. Extracurricular activities are encouraged to promote student growth and the school's character values.
Rich Atkins, the School Leader at KIPP Polaris Prep since November 2020, brings a wealth of experience in education, including teaching at all-boys schools in Brooklyn and serving as a grade-level dean. He is committed to fostering collaboration, cultural responsiveness, and affirmation within the school community.
Reviews
"Really solid school for college and life prep."
"Well most of the time it’s just adults acting like children, they put themselves at the level of the students and very foul mouthed to the students"
"im a kipp polaris students and most of my teachers retired and they wold call my mom for no good risen and i m daniel fernandez"
"Staff is rude my children got accepted to the school but the staff for that campus is rude I received a voice mail saying the campus would be closed for the Easter holiday I called and left voice mails to get more details and never answered or called back... Then I go back up there and the lady in the front wouldn’t even look at me in the eye kept typing and said we weren’t closed only the other 2 schools (mind you they are all the same location) your kid lost his spot oh well... I have yet to hear back from anyone after I left my number, how was it my fault you don’t answer your phones or voice mails!!!! If they are rude to me A PARENT what must those poor kids go through!!! There was 3 boys sitting waiting to see the principal while the teacher is talking to them and they seem not to care... Don’t need my kids around that environment!!!"
"The new school leader(principal), Mr. Jamaal Henry is very rude and disrespectful to parents. He is unprofessional and has the "little man syndrome"(always having a bad attitude). While working at Kipp Northeast College Prepatory High School, he would harrasse my child because I did not allow him to keep her cell phone. Which I made her take to school to record a teacher who would partake in bullying students!! Parents please beware when sending your children here. Academics are good but the staff will talk to you as if your uneducated and will take advantage of you. not worth the smart mouths they have!! most are not even parents!!!"
