HIGH SCHOOL IS NOT TOO LATE
ISA partners with schools and districts to transform underperforming public high schools using a research-based educational frame­work that has been proven to greatly improve student achievement.

Faculty and administrators benefit from on-going coaching and professional development. The results are impressive. ISA schools — often in the most challenging areas where graduation rates have been as low as 35% — have graduated as many as 90% of their seniors with nearly 90% of those graduates going on to college.

Seeing is believing. ISA helps schools and districts increase their graduation rates and their students' college success rates.

You’ll see classrooms in action, speak with teachers and school leaders, and hear from the students themselves about the difference an ISA school can make.
