Our students are ready and willing to take on the challenges of a 21st century education. They have many diverse styles of learning and need exposure to 21st century learning resources. They need to collaborate with their peers and lead by example.
We are 95% African-American, 2% Haitian-American, 2% Hispanic and 1% Caucasian with 97% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Our school is located in the inner city of Miami, Florida. Although our students are faced with many socio-economic challenges, they seek a high quality education to become productive citizens.
My Project
Due to school closure, our teachers are teaching online through Zoom and Microsoft Teams. The majority of our students are from low income households and do not have laptops/desktop computers for every child their household. We have many students on a wait list for laptops at our school. Those currently without a computer are missing instruction and as a result, are falling behind in their learning.
The laptops will allow students who currently do not have a computer to join their online classes .
When students are absent from school, the likely of falling behind increases, if the instruction is not repeated. We need donors like you to help our students get the technology resources they need to attend online school.
After school reopens, many students will continue via remote learning if parents chose that option. At least 50% of our parents chose the My School Online option for their child(ren). Students who will return to the schoolhouse, we continue to use the laptop to supplement in-class instruction.
More than three‑quarters 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
