ACE is a growing charter school network that has demonstrated that it can achieve something unique and urgently needed: success with the highest-need students in our most under-resourced urban communities. ACE is unique because it only serves disengaged, marginalized students who are failing in school. 94% of ACE students are low-income Latinos, over half are English Learners, and ACE serves double the number of Special Needs students than any other school in the region. Children who come to ACE having fallen far behind and anxious about their future become optimistic students driven to keep growing in college and beyond.
