In Hartford, Knowledge is Power When It Comes to School Choice
When Hartford families consider where to send their children to school, the questions can be tiny and practical ... or totally profound. What's the travel time from home to school - and then to work? And, what do the data say are the schools that will provide the best springboard for my child's academic and career success? Having recently launched the fourth year of our Choice Education Program, Achieve Hartford!'s question is, How can we help parents put as much thought into this application process as they no doubt will exercise later on, during the college admissions process?
