Our Impact

Achievement in Progress 

In 2007, New Visions for Public Schools was invited by the NYC Department of Education to take on a new role supporting a portfolio of schools across the city, providing instructional, leadership and operational support. Drawing from the expertise gained in developing the New Century High Schools Initiative, we now work to bring the same level of improvement in student achievement to our schools.

Today, posting steady improvement in attendance, grade-level promotion, exam scores and graduation rates, our schools are working tirelessly to prepare our students for college and career.

High School Achievement

The majority of students served by New Visions are in high school. We are committed to supporting them, particularly during their pivotal 9th grade year. Our research shows that when students achieve a 92 percent attendance rate, earn 11 or more credits, and pass at least 1 Regents exam in 9th grade, they are far more likely to graduate on time and be ready for entry into a college or career path. 

For the 2022/2023 school year, the four-year graduation rate for the 71 New Visions partner schools was 92%. Our schools' graduation and college and career readiness outcomes consistently outpace citywide averages.
