No student’s potential should be limited by the color of their skin, where they live or household income.
Through our unique curriculum and our college support model comprising people, programs, and culture, we are closing the opportunity gap and increasing levels of achievement by preparing students from underserved communities for success in college and citizenship.
For the last 16 years, Å·ÃÀÇéÉ« has sent nearly 100% of its graduates to college and remains on track to uphold that legacy. Â
In the past seven years, our average ACT score has increased from 17 to 21.5.
More than 3,500 of Å·ÃÀÇéÉ« Academy and College Prep students read more than one million words and passed comprehension tests during the academic year.
Å·ÃÀÇéÉ« Public Schools’ approach to education is focused on college preparation for all children. Our elementary curriculum includes a hybrid learning model known as BetterÅ·ÃÀÇéÉ«, in which all elementary students participate. Our college prep curriculum focuses on college preparation across all subjects.
Since our first high school graduating class fourteen years ago, we have achieved 100% college acceptance among our seniors as well as a college graduation rate five times the national average for students from low-income communities.
In addition, our full-scale high schools are ranked among the very best and most challenging schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report and The Washington Post.
Å·ÃÀÇéÉ« believes that character and culture are critical components to our students’ success in school and life.
Å·ÃÀÇéÉ« students, staff, and families hold themselves and each other to the high expectations and core values that guide all Å·ÃÀÇéÉ« Public Schools.
