Ninety percent of YES Prep students are first-generation college bound. Eighty percent of YES Prep students are economically disadvantaged. Ninety-five percent of YES Prep students are Hispanic or African American. Most students enter YES Prep at least one grade level behind in math and reading. These may seem like dismal statistics. BUT ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of YES Prep graduating seniors are accepted into a college, university, or branch of the United States military. YES stands for Youth Engaged in Service. Not only do my students have longer school hours, but they volunteer regularly in the Houston community. Because of this unique supplement of volunteerism to our curriculum, our students go off to college, but they often come back to Houston after graduation and give back to the community. YES Prep is transforming the face of Houston education, one child at a time, and we are proving that any child can learn.
