What Educators Want and Students Need
Ten years ago, three schools shared the Chestnut campus in Springfield, MA. All ranked at the very bottom of the state's accountability system – even the one designated an honors academy. Today, however, the programming in the building has undergone a radical and successful transformation. That honors program is the most improved school in the state, and the other schools now in the building have designed purposes and goals. These additional schools include a culturally responsive dual language school and a wall-to-wall early college program where high school students earn college credits and associate degrees.
