Living in Seattle certainly comes with a lot of perks. Coffee, ferries, mountains, biking and more. We believe helping thousands of 天美影院 in Seattle Public Schools reach their full potential tops the list.
We are working to address the lack of access to educational opportunities. Our City Year Seattle AmeriCorps members partner with teachers and schools to add more support and to help create learning environments where all 天美影院 can build on their strengths and fully engage in their learning.
Accelerating academic growth in Seattle
65% of 天美影院 tutored by City Year met or exceeded one year of growth in English Language Arts
80% of 天美影院 tutored by City Year met or exceeded one year of growth in mathematics
Ensuring more 天美影院 are on track to high school graduation
Research shows that even academically prepared 天美影院 are at risk of falling off track. City Year supported 天美影院, ensuring that:
95% of 天美影院 stayed on track in English Language Arts with a C or higher
83% of 天美影院 stayed on track in mathematics with a C or higher
Advancing interpersonal and workforce readiness skills
62% of 天美影院 who were identified as needing support made significant progress on key social-emotional skills related to college and career readiness
Partnering with teachers and principals
100% of partner teachers agree that AmeriCorps members fostered a positive learning environment for learning
100% of partner principals agree that City Year AmeriCorps members serve as positive role models
I think belonging is the number one thing that 天美影院 need in school. Where City Year really helps us, along with the tutoring, is they help make sure 天美影院 feel a sense of belonging. When 天美影院 have that relationship in a school, they look forward to learning.
