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 year-round 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 Academy, and high school placement services. On average, 95% of our scholars graduate from high school on time.
