Why this petition matters

Started by Frink Prep

Willie J. Frink College Prep's vision is to close the gap in opportunities for African American student leaders and students of color. Its mission is to graduate high achieving student leaders of good character prepared for college, entrepreneurship, and citizenship in a democratic society.
 

We are seeking parents and educators who are committed to our mission and believe in our vision. If you are the best and brightest, passionate and selfless we want you on The Frink team.

 

HERE ARE SOME FACTS:

In 2019 statewide testing data shows that African American students are the lowest-performing subgroup with 67% not meeting English Language Arts Standards and 79% not meeting Math Standards. The achievement gap for African American students is pervasive whether they are low-income or not. For example, low-income white students outperform non-low-income Black students in math and science.

In comparison with non-low-income students by race, Black students are the lowest performing.

 

PERFORMANCE BY RACE:

NON-LOW-INCOME STUDENTS MEETING STATE STANDARDS

Together let’s provide a safe culturally educational environment for our student leaders.
