绿点的历史

Green Dot Public 学校 was founded in 1999 in direct response to the poor state of public high schools in the Los Angeles area. Traditional high schools were not graduating over 50% of their students, and those that were making it through were rarely prepared for college. The vast majority of the students failing out of the system were children from low-income families. Green Dot had a vision of creating small, successful public schools and in doing so, demonstrating to the school district and the public-at-large that there was a more effective way to provide public education in low-income and and historically underserved areas.

In August 2000, Green Dot opened its doors with just one 9th grade class of 140 students. 今天, our organization has successfully grown to serve more than 14,000 students in communities across Los Angeles, CA, 德州, 和孟菲斯, TN.

建国五. Between 2000 and 2005, Green Dot opened five start-up independent charter high schools in some of the toughest neighborhoods in Los Angeles. All five went on to be named in Newsweek’s annual ranking of the best high schools in the country and were medal winners in the annual U.S. News and World Report list, placing them in the top 2.全国5%.

Leader in School Turnarounds

洛克转换. In 2008, Green Dot expanded its approach to focus on turning around chronically, low-performing schools and took on the transformation of Locke High School. Locke was 15 times the size of our usual charter school launch and one of the worst high schools in 加州. Despite these difficulties, under Green Dot management, Locke has made great strides with a recent 加州大学洛杉矶分校CRESST研究 demonstrating that Green Dot students attending Locke are 1.5x more likely to graduate and 3.7x more likely to graduate college-ready than students attending peer neighborhood schools.

粘土 & Jordan Transformations. In 2011, Green Dot further solidified its position as a turnaround operator with the Jordan High School (Ánimo College Preparatory Academy) and Henry 粘土 Middle School (Ánimo Phillis Wheatley and Ánimo Western) transformations. 乔丹和克莱, Green Dot assumed full transformations with an aggregate of more than 1,500 students in a single year.
