Opportunity Schools

In Baltimore, we found eight schools that are leading students from low-income households to outperform overall state proficiency rates.

Through our Opportunity Schools campaign and report we aim to celebrate the schools’ successes and pull lessons that we can use to make better policies and create more poverty-defying schools.

Behind every one of these great schools is a talented school leader whose best practices and voices we want to amplify. We will advocate for the policies and practices we learned by studying and visiting these exceptional schools and leaders.
