Pilot Sites

In the fall of 2003, five pilot sites were identified within the Miami-Dade Public School system: Coral Gables High School, Miami Jackson Senior High School, Miami Coral Park Senior High School, South Dade Senior High School, and American Senior High School. Each site identified 30 students to participate in the project.
With intensive academic and family support provided by the project, students who had been struggling made significant progress and increased their FCAT scores. On average, students gained an average of 23 points on the reading portion of the FCAT, with some gains as high as 183 points. The mean score on the reading
portion of the FCAT for students participating in the project was 289, while the mean score for 12th grade students in Miami-Dade County was 277.
