[GP] Rocketship Education is Launching in Ward 8!
Transformative schools do more than educate students. They
empower teachers, engage parents and inspire communities. Rocketship Education
is a nonprofit network of public elementary charter schools that believes all children
deserve access to an excellent education, regardless of background or family
income. Earlier this year, Rocketship broke ground on a brand new, state of the
art elementary school in Woodland Terrace.
Every week, Rocketship hosts information
sessions for parents and community members to learn more about the
school, including how to apply or get involved.
Parents and community members can also sign up for a hard hat tour
of the new facilities.
Through its unique combination of personalized learning,
parent engagement, and excellent teachers Rocketship creates a learning
environment that ensures all children are on the path to college. In a single school year, students at
Rocketship grow an average of 1.7 years in math and 1.5 years in English
Language Arts.
Be sure to stop by Rocketship’s booth at EdFest
on December 12. Don’t forget that My
School DC applications open on December 14. If you need any
assistance completing your application, feel free to contact Rocketship staff.
