Higher Achievement

Higher Achievement's rigorous afterschool and summer academic program closes the opportunity gap for middle school youth in at-risk communities. It provides middle school scholars with a year-round learning environment, caring role models, and a culture of high expectations, resulting in college-bound scholars with the character, confidence, and skills to succeed. As a result, 95% of Higher Achievement scholars graduate from high school on time. In a city where 62 percent finish high school, these results are astounding - and desperately needed. Higher Achievement is creating lasting change in the lives of the DC Metro youth.
