Abstract

The ISUS (Improved Solutions for Urban Systems) Institute of health Care is a dropout recovery charter high school Dayton, Ohio. The School accepts all students, but targets high-need youth who comprise more than 95% of those enrolled. ISUS consistently ranks among top 10 highest performing of all 62 public schools in Dayton. ISUS is the recipient of both a Dayton Business Journal Not-For Profit Business of the Year Award and a Dayton Business Journal Regional Leadership Award.

As a high-performing charter school, ISUS earned a rating of “Excellent” on the Ohio Department of Education’s 2010-11 Local Report Card- the trajectory of student growth exceeds national averages by 246% in Reading and 147% in Math. ISUS also delivers a vocational component, which provides students an opportunity to earn industry credentials and college credits to better prepare graduates for entry into the workforce or post-secondary education. This component contributes significantly to the educational success of former dropout youth.

ISUS submits this proposal for support to disseminate information that will lead to greater success for start up and operating charter schools.
