SAVE GIRLS PREP!
Girls Prep is requesting additional space for our high performing middle school in District 1. Girls Prep is the only school in District 1 that has effectively closed the achievement gap for African-American and Latina students.
At Girls Prep, where 97% of our students are African-American or Latina, 100% of all students passed NY State Math exam and 96% passed the English Language Arts exam in 2009. In 2009, only 63% of African-American and Latino students in District 1 passed the ELA exam, and only 82% passed the Math Exam.
Please show your support for Girls Prep Middle School by signing the petition.
Please forward the petition to everyone you know and ask them to support the Girls Prep community and other charter schools in public school space to ensure equal access to a quality education for their children.
If charter school opponents win this fight, they won’t stop there! The education of thousands of charter school students in NYC is in jeopardy.
Thank you for your support.
I am truly stunned by the momentum this has gained lately. This progress belongs entirely to all of you who have spoken up for these students.

The achievement gap is real and this school is actually fixing it. stop blocking them from getting space.

These girls are outperforming everyone else. Why are we trying to hold back the kids that are actually showing results?

unfair to treat these students like second class citizens. they deserve the same resources as everyone else.

results talk. look at the test scores and then ask yourself why they dont have enough space yet.
