Primary and secondary schools in the Westside continue to face challenges in reading and math proficiency and high school graduation rates, and only two neighborhoods have quality childcare providers and pre-K opportunities.
One of Westside Future Fund’s goals is to improve academic achievement in area public schools and provide more access to high quality early childhood education. Check out the Westside Future Fund’s impact goals on our website.
Note: Hollis Innovation Academy opened in the Westside in 2016 and currently serves students in grades K-6.
