Test scores may give a clue to how students perform at a school, but they don’t tell the whole story. At an innovative K-12 tuition-free public school like Empower College Prep (ECP) it is the individual achievement of each student that indicates the success of the program.
What is ECP’s Whole Story?
Empower College Prep is educating a highly diverse student population and sending an overwhelming number to college. Since our first seniors graduated in 2020, 90% of every class enrolls in college the fall after graduation. Many are the first in their families to achieve this remarkable goal.
We prepare our scholars for college beginning on the first day of kindergarten and support their academic journey throughout the years.
An ECP education includes:
- Advisory for all K-12th scholars
- Academic support and tutoring
- Internship opportunities beginning in middle school
- 15 Advanced Placement courses and Honors Level classes in science, math, English and social studies
- Specially designed instruction and accommodations through the IEP and Section 504 process that meet the unique needs of each student
How ECP Measures Success
Beyond test scores, Empower College Prep measures success by …
1. Dedicated, committed teachers who return year after year.
“I’m not just their teacher, I’m someone who genuinely cares about their success, both inside and outside the classroom . . . By understanding their unique strengths and challenges, I’m able to support them in ways that help them grow not just academically, but as individuals with the potential to make a real impact in their communities.” – Jessy Aceituno, ES Math
2. An emphasis on values that inspires scholars to attain their goals.
“The biggest lesson I will take from Empower is that I am valuable, and I was put on this earth for a purpose. . . in some way, I will change my world.” – Ajanae Davis, ECP graduate
3. Celebrating our scholars which helps them build confidence in their abilities.
“Everything we do here is based on the core value of compassion and empathy. We are student-centered. We support our students in discovering, developing, and communicating their passions, interests, and strengths.” – Brian Holman, Founder + Executive Director
