Keyora Bush: A Success Story

If you had asked Keyora Bush what her favorite past-time was two years ago, she would have gleefully replied, "Watching TV!". At that time, Keyora was a struggling 3rd grade student who disliked school.

Today, Keyora is an honor roll student at Orchard Knob Elementary and enjoys reading thanks in part to The Street Academy program.

With The Street Academy, your child will have access to the best after school tutoring and group instruction available. The Street Academy is an easy way to get academic help that is convenient for both you and your child.

66% of students who participated in The Street Academy tested proficient or advanced on the TCAP. The Street Academy after school programs had a 95% attendance rate for the 2005-2006 school year.
