Marcia Aaron is KIPP LA's CEO and founder.[4]

A 2016 Education Equality Index from Education Cities recognized the work done by three KIPP LA schools to close the achievement gap.[7][8]
A 2017 Stanford University study said that KIPP LA gained 90 days of learning in reading compared with students at LA district schools.[9][10]
