Los Angeles County’s future vitality and prosperity depend on a well-educated future workforce. Currently, students from low-income communities, students of color, English learners, students with disabilities and other underrepresented students lack access to quality pre-kindergarten learning experiences, highly qualified teachers and sufficient educational resources. The result is significant disparities in achievement among Los Angeles County’s student subgroups.
Goal:
Increase K-5 student performance in math and literacy in Los Angeles County among low-income, minority and English learner students.
To achieve this goal, the foundation supports organizations whose work:
