Latino Education Alliance was a non-profit which partnered with schools, parents and students with targeted support to improve on-track rates for Latino students in Chicago in their crucial first year of high school; helping Latino students and families on the academic path to excellence. It operated from 2001 to 2011 in 3 predominately Latino enrolled high schools.
Studies showed that if freshmen stay on track with their coursework, they are nearly 4 times more likely to graduate. Only 53% of Chicago’s Latino students who enter high school graduate four years later.
It closed its operations on June 30, 2011 having had its program institutionalized into its original host school, Benito Juarez Community Academy. To learn more about its programs see the Student Success Strategies: A School-Community Partnership Program Model and Implementation Guide here and contact "Bertha G. Magaña Consulting" bertha_g_mag@yahoo.com.
Also wanted to thank Get EDIT Studios for donating their time in updating the LEA website.
