Few parents of students at University Park Campus School attended college, but just about all its graduates do. Located in a working-class neighborhood in Worcester, Mass., the school has modeled its standards and curriculum on the level of work expected of freshmen at neighbor and partner Clark University. At University Park Campus School, students—most of whom are low-income and many of whom speak English as their second language—are expected not simply to pass but to excel. Learn how this Dispelling the Myth Award winner prepares all its students for college work.
