KIPP SoCal – Innovation

About This Project

One of the largest and most successful networks of public charter schools in the country needed to identify and secure a permanent facility for an approximate 600-student educational facility in an extremely dense urban market.

Challenge/Opportunity

KIPP SoCal retained InSite to help them identify and purchase a property that would be developed into a campus that would house one of its existing middle schools. This school was currently operating in a temporary facility.  The property needed to be within proximity to KIPP’s existing feeder school. The requirement was in East Los Angeles, a dense urban community.

Approach

Utilizing our proprietary process, we identified potential areas compatible with the development of the campus. By mapping out block-by-block properties within the search boundary, we located an off-market property that met the school’s criteria.

Results

KIPP SoCal acquired and then developed the property that InSite had identified, turning it into a functional and safe environment for the students it serves. The school now serves hundreds of neighborhood students and is a resource to the surrounding community.
