High-Performing Districts

Helping School Districts Succeed
The United States relies on local school districts to guide education. The foundation supports efforts to understand what makes a successful school district and funds projects that help build strong education systems.

Working with many partners, we focus on large urban districts committed to improving the school experience and success of all students—regardless of income, race, or ethnic background.
