These NC charter schools show how to succeed with low-income students

“In June, Charlotte’s Sugar Creek High School, a high-poverty, all-minority school, will graduate its first senior class. Of the 30 seniors, all have been accepted by at least one four-year college. Three were accepted for early admission at UNC-Chapel Hill. Most of these students will be the first person from their families to attend college. Public education examples such as this prove that a student from a low-income family can achieve academic success equal to that of his middle-class peers.”
