In March, Democracy Prep was approved to turn around Harlem Day Charter School, a failing elementary school in East Harlem. At Democracy Prep, we believe that it was not the kids, but rather the adults in the building that led to persistently low academic achievement for their students. Harlem Prep’s new DREAM team will deliver Democracy Prep’s more rigorous and structured model to the exact same students in the same building, turning the school into a high-performing elementary school where students are prepared for success in both college and citizenship.
