Problem

Ensuring a meaningful education for every child in America has never been more crucial than it is today. America’s young people are performing poorly in school. Despite decades of reform, the American educational system is struggling to meet the increasing demands placed on it. The problem is especially critical for at-risk youth. At-risk children begin their early grades believing they can achieve. By the fourth grade, many of these young people lose their curiosity and interest in learning.
