GO teachers & volunteers love working at GO School, and we appreciate all that they do for our students! Our trained staff works hard to support our students in their academic and social-emotional learning. Because of their dedication, our students grow in their reading and math benchmarks while developing vital social-emotional skills for success.

Here’s what some of the GO School team members had to say about why they love working with GO Project! 💚📚

🎉 GO is so proud of our students for not only continuing to work hard at improving their academics but also for enrolling in strong middle and high schools! Part of GO’s programming includes supporting our 5th, 7th, and 8th grade students in the GO Bridges program. Students and their families receive support with school applications and finding best-fit schools for them. Students partake in workshops and activities throughout the year to prepare for the transition to middle and high school.

This year:
⭐ 76% of GO students enrolled in a strong middle school (compared to 57% citywide)
⭐ 93% of GO students enrolled in a strong high school (compared to 60% citywide)

Congratulations to our GO students and we can’t wait to see all that you achieve in middle and high school!
