Innovate’s report, “Struggling Schools, Promising Solutions,” identified schools in this region that are beating the odds for low-income students – serving a majority of high-need students and achieving high levels of performance.
More than 15,000 students in Silicon Valley are currently attending schools that have been persistently low-performing for years, according to a new report from Innovate Public Schools. “Struggling Schools, Promising Solutions” calls on local communities, especially superintendents and school boards, to take swift action to find lasting solutions for the students attending the 28 schools singled out in the report.
What can we learn from communities across the country that have successfully turned around low-performing schools? What approaches are effective?
As one of the few charter management organizations nationwide that have taken on the difficult work of turning around large, very low-performing schools, Green Dot has achieved great success with schools all over some of the most impoverished schools in South Los Angeles.
