Equal Opportunity Schools

Equal Opportunity Schools’ mission is to ensure students of all backgrounds have equal access to America’s most academically intense high school programs—and particularly that low-income students and students of color have opportunities to succeed at the highest levels.In pursuit of our mission, we focus on the “tragedy of twenty feet” – each year two-thirds of a million students are stuck literally just across the hall from advanced high school classes they are ready to succeed in, classes which they will need in order to achieve their college completion goals.Equal Opportunity Schools partners with school, district, county, state, and national leaders around the country to close race and income enrollment and success gaps in their Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, dramatically improving student engagement, achievement and college readiness and success.
