J.C. Nalle Community School: A Study of a School Turnaround Effort

J.C. Nalle is a public elementary school in one of the District’s poorest neighborhoods. The school is also the first Washington, D.C. public “community school,” working with local organizations to address students’ non-academic needs.

Child Trends took an independent look at whether test scores were improving for students at J.C. Nalle, and if they were, to see what had contributed to this feat.
