Bright Spots are programs and schools that are improving student outcomes by at least 10% with a 3+ year trend of growth. Some Bright Spots are achieving over 40% growth.

These Bright Spots inspire us because they demonstrate that all kids can learn, including less advantaged children and youth, and that we can raise the bar to higher expectations for student achievement. Why? Because it is already happening in our community, successfully. Many bright Spots also serve as proof point that we can close important disparity gaps and we can create equity for our students who face the most challenges.
