The Ed Ladder partnered with various school districts, private and charter schools, and other non-profit organizations to work with students who need supplemental academic support due to their life circumstances. These could be: they are low income, English Language Learners, have special needs, are in foster care or are recently adopted, are experiencing homelessness, are victims of domestic violence, are involved in the juvenile justice system, or whose parents are experiencing addiction or are incarcerated. 1038 students were served during the fiscal year. The program proved to be effective in addressing academic challenges and led to significant improvements in key areas of academic functioning.
