School choice works.

When given the opportunity to attend the school of their choice, children - including low-income, at-risk kids - can be successful. Take ACE’s 2009 results as proof:

Higher Graduation Rates

ACE Graduation Rate – 86%

Colorado Low-Income Graduation Rate – 59%

Denver Public Schools Low-Income Graduation Rate – 45%

Better Prepared for College

ACT Average Composite Score – 19.4

Colorado Low-Income ACT Average – 15.7

Denver Public Schools Low-Income ACT Average – 14.4

Take that, achievement gap.
