AmeriCorps Achievement Member -- Higher Achievement
 
 
 
Higher Achievement closes the opportunity gap during the pivotal middle school years. The multi-year program makes a measurable impact on student’s test scores, grades, social/emotional skills, and long-term success. We flood our scholars with opportunities throughout their middle school years, and the program dramatically improves their achievement. Our program is grounded in research. It combines high expectations with high support — demanding academic work plus mentoring, skill-building, individual student achievement plans, and personal encouragement. The program includes Afterschool Academy, Summer Link, and high school placement services. On average, 95% of our scholars graduate from high school on time.
