The accolades keep rolling in for our Rocketeers! In the fall, Innovate Public Schools released their 2016 report titled \u201cTop Bay Area Public Schools for Underserved Students.\u201d <\/a>Their findings show that for the third year in a row, the majority of Rocketship schools made their lists for top schools closing the achievement gap<\/strong>. Six Rocketship schools in San Jose made at least one list of top schools getting results for low-income Latino or African-American students. In math results for low-income Latino students, six Rocketship schools made the list of the top 18 schools, the most of any district or charter management organization. We are so proud of our Rocketeers who are beating the odds and getting on the path to college and career. This report is just one of many testaments<\/a> to the results our Rocketeers achieve through their hard work and dedication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The report looks at how schools in the Bay Area perform on the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) with low-income African-American and Latino students. While Bay Area schools routinely outperform the rest of the state, Innovate finds that low-income students in the region lag behind other California students, widening an already large statewide achievement gap. The report looks at schools whose low-income students match or better the proficiency rates of the California state average. Out of 568 schools that serve a large population of low-income students in five Bay Area counties, only 41 schools made the cut, down from 54 last year. However, only 26 of these 41 schools included in the report are elementary schools.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Yet six of these 26 are Rocketship schools:<\/div>\n
