Schools for the Future Launches in Massachusetts

 

BOSTON, Mass. – Monday, June 22, 2015 – Schools for the Future, a special project of School & Main Institute in Boston, is proud to announce that students in our new school in Detroit posted record gains on their ACT benchmark assessments this year. Students gained an average of 2.5 years across all four tested subjects – including a remarkable 5.6 year gain on English Language Arts. As a means of comparison, these impressive jumps in ACT benchmark assessment growth for SFF students break longstanding records held by the top charter systems in America.  Read more.
Schools for the Future is now launching in Massachusetts and is interested in working with districts looking for more systemic strategies for serving overage, undercredited students using a performance-based advancement approach that spans traditional grades 7-12. SFF/SMI is an approved MA ESE turnaround operator.
