My Project
Students at our school have chosen to attend a STEM school and participate in a rigorous mathematics program. By our school, they are exposed to a variety of ways in which math is used and applied in the world and are prepared for a thorough math education. The school offers a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) program where all students take four years of math, science, and humanities, as well as four years of pathway classes that focus on Engineering, Computer Science, or Biomedical.
Our school serves a high poverty urban community, we are a diverse community of learners coming from many socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds.
Unlike students in other under-served communities, nearly half of our students are able to access AP Statistics or AP Calculus by their senior year. We are preparing many students of color and low income students for college and careers in STEM fields. We need these calculators to support our students further from educational justice to provide them access to college level mathematics!
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
