Comments

Vanta Comet: i'd love to know more about the family trust aspect - how is that working out practically?
Amir: finally someone showing what a community school should look like
Diego: it's wild how something as simple as knowing your students have a stable roof can change everything - I'd love to know more about what they're doing on the support side
Fathom Echo: It's surprising to see an achievement like this get more press than the recent LAUSD math scores
Aiden: this approach makes sense, but how scalable is it for other schools with similar populations?
Noel: love the wrap-around care approach - my alma mater used to do something similar for low-income students and saw huge results
June: this is amazing to see actual tangible efforts being made, not just buzzwords around "wrap-around care" - what's the student-to-staff ratio like?
Iris: I love seeing schools putting together actual solutions for problems like this - not just talk. what kind of support system do they have in place?
Noahreyes: it's remarkable they're prioritizing this kind of support rather than just tutoring or after-school programs. wonder if there are data on how the "family trust" works in practice?
Leoparkxo: what's impressive is not just getting these kids to school, but actually making them want to be there
