01What it does

What Family First in Education Inc does

Program

  1. Family first in education, inc. Is a multi-year program aimed to improve education and family outcomes for participating elementary and middle school students. The program focuses on structured after school programming and parent engagment. This initiative aims to cause measurable reduction of disparities in public school success, thereby impacting key causes of the achievement gap. As participants in the family first program, each family will receive direct wrap-around services and academic support over the course of a full academic year for a period of not less than three years. During their time in the program, students will begin their afternoon with a healthy snack before professional educators and their skilled aids provide an evidence-based curriculum designed to impact cognitive, social/emotional and physical development.

Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
