Each year our program supports hundreds of students in a wide variety schools. Four factors set CSFB apart from other programs designed to improve the well-being of underserved children:
CSF Scholars are more likely to graduate than their public school peers, as demonstrated by studies in the San Francisco Bay Area, Charlotte, Denver, and Philadelphia.
Studies of CSF Scholars in Baltimore, Charlotte, Los Angeles, Memphis and Philadelphia found their test scores were higher than those of their counterparts in nearby public schools.
In Baltimore, data from an independent study conducted with funding from The Friedman Foundation measures high school graduation rates and college attendance rates of CSFB scholars. A few of the statistical highlights include a 97% high school graduation rate and a 84% college attendance rate.
CSFB has helped thousands of Baltimore City children, and can help thousands more. We are helping to close the achievement gap.”
