As we turn the page on a new year, we take this time to reflect on all the ways we\u2019ve grown in the past year. We have much to be proud of, and still more growth to pursue, but always, we remain committed to the students and families who have entrusted us to help pave a path of preparation for college, leadership, and life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Green Dot Public Schools was founded in 1999 in direct response to the state of public high schools in the Los Angeles area. Green Dot began as one class of 140 ninth graders at \u00c1nimo Leadership Charter High School<\/a>. Nearly 20 years later we are proud to serve over 14,000 students in 30 schools across three regions and eight cities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

In 2018, our students achieved breakthrough growth.

Green Dot has dedicated itself to creating positive, academically rigorous public schools in neighborhoods across the country that are in highest need of quality school options. Our efforts were recognized last year when seven of Green Dot\u2019s high schools were awarded gold and silver medals by U.S. News & World Report\u2019s Best High Schools 2018 report<\/a>. The report recognizes seven of our independent public charter high schools as among the best in the nation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

We began operating schools in Memphis in 2014 when we were invited by the state\u2019s Achievement School District to help transform several local middle and high schools. In Four short years later, Bluff City High School<\/a>, Kirby Middle School<\/a>, and Wooddale Middle School<\/a>\u00a0all achieved Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS) scores of 5<\/strong>, which shows significant growth and achievement for our students. TVAAS measures student growth year over year by comparing their performance to those of their peers on previous state assessments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We have an excellent and highly satisfied team in Tennessee to thank for such extraordinary results. For the second year in a row, The Commercial Appeal, in partnership with research firm, Energage, LLC, has recognized Green Dot as one of the best places to work in the Greater Memphis area<\/strong>. We were proud to be acknowledged on the Top Workplaces 2018 list, as professional development and empowerment of employees are continued priorities for the organization.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

In September 2018 the Washington State Supreme Court ruled for a second time, that charter schools are constitutional, and upheld lower court rulings that affirmed the laws that govern and fund charter schools. For many families in Washington, this ruling safeguards the educational choices they have made to enroll in charter schools like Green Dot\u2019s schools in the Puget Sound region–Destiny Charter Middle School<\/a>, Excel Public Charter School<\/a>, and Rainier Valley Leadership Academy Middle and High School<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This year students at Rainier Valley Leadership Academy (RVLA) got a new school home. RVLA students and staff, along with community partners, hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony and shared their thoughts on the importance of having high quality public school options in their neighborhood<\/strong>. Civic leaders encouraged families, staff, and students to be proud of having another high quality public education option available to Southeast Seattle.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
