Often the kids we work with are the hardest to teach. Not the hardest to learn, but the hardest to teach. We're talking about the 10 to 20 percent of the kids who don't learn. Traditionally, these kids are the ones who fall through the cracks. But for most of the children we work with, we can move them from the tail of the curve in their classroom to the average.
Studies validate that the program is successful.
In a five-year longitudinal study, between 65 to 80 percent of the students continued to score average or above on standardized tests. The University High School opened this year on the Fresno State campus. This is the only charter school on a university campus that provides students with a rigorous, college preparatory program. More than 100 students from 41 different middle schools in Fresno and Madera counties have enrolled in this high school where the emphasis is on academics. These students are looking for a superior educational opportunity.
