Achievements

Our record in serving youth in low-income minority communities is one that underscores what can be done. The "achievement gap" that is prevalent both nationwide and statewide is being narrowed every year in each of our schools. Our schools have various benchmarks of success:
 

  • The high number of applicants to our schools and lengthy waiting lists are a market-driven
    testimony to the quality reputation our schools have achieved.
  • Our students demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and growth on state tests.
  • Our schools are successfully closing the achievement gap that has persisted between income
    levels.
  • We ensure that our graduating elementary school students are prepared academically for high
    school.
  • We ensure that our graduating high school students are prepared academically for college &
    university work.
  • Our annual satisfaction surveys are a strong vote of approval on how we manage our schools and
    value our constituents. We are dedicated to a process of continuous improvement in every aspect
    of our activity.
