Meet our first college graduates.
In the communities served by Yellowstone Schools, only one in ten students is expected to complete a college degree or any other post-secondary program of study.
Seven in ten Yellowstone alumni are currently on track to beat this statistic.
Access to a high-quality education can determine a student's outcome.
According to data reported by the Texas Tribune, only 1 in 10 economically disadvantaged students or students of color in Houston is expected to successfully complete a college degree or post-secondary certification program.
These exceptional students can expect to enjoy higher wages, more employment opportunities, better health, and increased levels of civic engagement. For the remaining nine students, however, the future is not nearly so bright.
You can be the difference.
Your gift will provide a student with access to Yellowstone's unique educational program -- a program with nearly 20 years of proven results.
The Role of Poverty
In Texas, school districts with few economically disadvantaged students tend to perform better than districts with more. In fact, no school district with a rate of low-income students lower than 30 percent received an overall rating of C, D or F.
We believe all students are born with purpose and destined for success.
By providing a high-quality, rigorous education paired with holistic student support programs, we are succeeding where so many schools have failed, but we need your support.
This problem is too big for us to fight alone, but with your support we can make a difference in Houston.
