A List Adventures Academic Success — $1,615

Grant Focus: At-risk Students

Schools: Whitson Elementary School

This grant expands the A-List Adventures afterschool program at Whitson Elementary by funding a dedicated academic tutor for students who are significantly below grade level in reading and math. Nearly all A-List students qualify for free or reduced lunch, many are English Language Learners, and the majority identify as Hispanic or Latinx — and A-List is the only afterschool program at the school providing academic enrichment for these students. The tutor will work four hours per week during the school year and six hours per week during the summer, providing individualized support in literacy and math with progress tracked through iReady assessments.
