These schools defy the odds. But how?

I’ve curated the 60/80 list: Schools where 60% or more of students received free/reduced lunch AND where 80% or more of students are reading proficiently.

Outlier schools are those that significantly deviate from the typical performance of other schools in their area. On the 60/80 list, you’ll find the rarest schools. They experience high poverty and achieve high literacy.

What are the key factors that contribute to high literacy rates regardless of wealth? We’re here to find out.


Do you work at an outlier school?
