My students are 10th and 11th graders in Baltimore City. They are attending a smaller school of about 400 students, and about 85% of my students receive free/reduced lunches. There is a shocking history of a lack of opportunity at my school that is shown in our data. In almost every subject area, 10% (at most) of my students are passing state standardized exams.. The average GPA at our school is a D average, and very few students enroll in college. My school building, which was built during the Cold War, is lacking in many resources, including air conditioning and potable water, which greatly affects my students' ability to succeed and achieve. But, despite all of this, my students come to school hoping to make the most of what they can. The strive to be respectful and honorable. Some of them take care of their younger siblings after school. Others have jobs to help support their families. They are more than just students; they are community members--essential community members.
