Increasing Rate Of Graduation The Goal Of New Detroit School
DETROIT (WWJ) - It's an effort to work with the nation's most challenged middle and high schools to boost graduation rates, and it's happening right here in Detroit.
The Detroit Collegiate Preparatory Academy (DCP) – a Diplomas Now and Detroit Public School, will open Tuesday offering students a unique educational recipe that has the potential to significantly boost graduation rates.
Penny Bailer is the Executive Director of City Year Detroit.
