Printer-friendly version

The National Center for Urban School Transformation (NCUST) offers a National Excellence in Urban Education Award. In this session, we will describe our process for identifying nominees and vetting applications. We will emphasize the data that lead us to exclude schools from further consideration. We will present data tables describing the demographics and the achievement levels of each of our 17 finalists for the award. In particular, we will share disaggregated state achievement results for our finalists in a way that contrasts with similar schools and state averages.
