We are thrilled to share that 12 of our KIPP SoCal schools have earned distinguished recognition from the California Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Coalition as part of their statewide program.
This honor recognizes schools that go above and beyond in creating safe, supportive, and joyful environments where students can thrive. Earning a PBIS Award means that our school is being recognized for building strong systems that support student growth academically, socially, and emotionally.
Schools are recognized by levels—Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum—for their fidelity to PBIS best practices. In 2024, KIPP Promesa made history as the very first KIPP SoCal school to achieve the prestigious PBIS Gold Award. The following KIPP SoCal schools have received recognition for 2025:
