NJ LEEP SERVES STUDENTS IN GRADES 6-12, ALUMNI THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, AND FAMILY MEMBERS. MOST OF OUR STUDENTS COME FROM LOW TO MODERATE-INCOME BACKGROUNDS AND POSSESS MULTIPLE RISK FACTORS TO COLLEGE MATRICULATION AND PERSISTENCE. SINCE OUR FIRST GRADUATING CLASS OF 2011, 100% OF OUR PROGRAM GRADUATES HAVE GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND ENROLLED IN COLLEGE, MANY IN HIGHLY SELECTIVE COLLEGES, SUCH AS AMHERST, GEORGETOWN, PRINCETON, RUTGERS, SMITH AND THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. IN COMPARISON, RESEARCH SHOWS THAT SINCE 2011, THE COLLEGE SCHOOL GRADUATION RATE FROM STUDENTS IN NEWARK PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS 23%. WE ALSO MEASURE THE COLLEGE PERSISTENCE RATE OF OUR GRADUATES: OVER 73% GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE.
