New Orleans Charter Schools are Success Story

In a letter to the editor, Firstline Schools CEO Sabrina Pence shares her experience as a school leader in New Orleans. 

She writes, “While New Orleans’ students’ test scores went up last year, we agree that they aren’t high enough; unfortunately, this is true statewide and nationally, particularly for students of color and students from low-income backgrounds. This reflects inequity, not potential. Firstline will continue preparing our students to be college and career ready while fighting the inequities that limit their opportunities.”
