Replication

The 3,000+ Boston Public Schools students on the Brooke wait list are stuck in low-performing schools.

These wait-listed students lack access to high-quality educational options. Enrolled in schools that have failed to close the achievement gap, these students will likely be trapped in the cycle of poverty. Their life prospects will be determined by their zip codes.

We want to change this.

We opened Brooke Mattapan in August 2011 and we plan to open Brooke East Boston in August 2012. Together, the three Brooke Schools will serve nearly 1,500 low-income Boston-area students. These schools will provide our scholars the excellent academics and strong character foundation needed to make it to – and through – college.

The network will also serve as a nationwide proof that great teaching can close the achievement gap. School, district, and political leaders will take note of the excellent results at the Brooke Charter Schools Network. Our impact will ripple out beyond our 1,500 scholars, impacting policy and school decision-making in low-income urban districts across the state and country.

As we grow, we will make ongoing investments in dissemination, sharing our curriculum, our teaching and learning standards, our operational processes, and other best practices with schools looking to achieve Brooke-level results.


Donate now to grow Brooke and close Boston’s achievement gap.
