New York City's Middle-Grade Schools:
Platforms for Success or Pathways to Failure

---

A Report by the
NYC Coalition for Educational Justice
a coalition of member organizations of
Community Collaborative to Improve Bronx Schools
Brooklyn Education Collaborative
Brooklyn-Queens 4 Education Collaborative

Prepared by staff at the Community Involvement Program of the Annenberg Institute for School Reform

[January 2007]

Description
A report highlighting inequities in curriculum offerings and teacher quality between high- and low-performing middle-grade schools in NYC. The report concludes that these inequities contribute to the failure of many middle-grade schools to prepare their students for the rigors of high school and beyond.


Background
The Coalition is made up of the members of three community-based collaboratives working to reform education in New York City. The report was developed as part of the Coalition's citywide campaign to transform the city's middle-grade schools into platforms for academic success for all students.
