Led by parents to "End the Inequities" in the NYC’s Public School System

DID YOU KNOW...?

  • Most students in NYC don't graduate from high school ready for college and the world of work
  • The number of students reading at standard decreases every grade from 3rd grade to 8th grade
  • The number of fourth graders reading at state standard has increased 27 percentage points since 1999, while the number of 8th graders reading at standard has only increased 6 points

WHAT WE WANT FOR ALL MIDDLE GRADES SCHOOLS

  2. Middle Grade Professional Development Academy that trains and supports a superior middle grade staff specialized in the challenges and needs of adolescents.
  3. Incentives to attract the most effective and experienced middle grade teachers to the lowest performing schools.
  4. Middle Grade Student Success Centers that provide strong social and emotional supports coordinated under one roof.
