My students are smart, creative, and resilient. Over 90% of our students live a mile or less from our school, and almost a third of our incoming 6th-grade class has family that is currently or has attended our school. Despite being concentrated in one of the most stressful neighborhoods in our city (in terms of violence and poverty), our students are successful. Each year we grow, increasing our graduation rate and college acceptance rate, with 80% of graduates attending college last year. We help students get excited and get into college! We are a small school and can create very rich and deep relationships with students while they are here since most teachers loop two years with each class. If students start to fall behind we have mandatory academic support. We don't let anyone fall through the cracks. We believe all students can succeed and with this attitude they make it happen!
