Strong academics are at the core of our mission to make sure every child graduates ready to succeed in college, a career, and the community where they live. We have acted to raise graduation standards and students have responded by achieving the highest graduation rate of any big-city district in the state. We have schools across the city that offer Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) programs, International Baccalaureate® (IB) instruction, Advanced Placement (AP) courses, courses for college credit, and dual-language classrooms.
