Higher Achievement's mission is to develop academic skills, behaviors, and attitudes in academically motivated and underserved middle school children to improve their grades, test scores, attendance, and opportunities – resulting in acceptance to college preparatory high schools. We close the achievement gap by offering motivated middle school students from under-served areas an opportunity-rich, nationally recognized year-round educational and high school preparatory program. The program, held after school and during the summer, culminates in college preparatory high school placement. For over 33 years, Higher Achievement has helped over 10,000 students achieve academic excellence. Grades improve, test scores improve, and academic behaviors are fostered through a program that works.
The organization has received numerous awards, but the most important measure of success is the results achieved by the Higher Achievement scholars themselves. Scholars enter the program with an average GPA of 2.3, and after four years, the GPA jumps to an impressive 3.8.
Higher Achievement is a champion of three principles: talent is everywhere, intellect is built through effort, and opportunities matter.
