Breakthrough’s Success with Students

For more than 30 years, BTGB has been closing opportunity gaps, combating summer learning loss, and preparing students for success in college. Breakthrough has consistently demonstrated that low-income students of color can achieve at the highest levels when engaged in a culture of high expectations, and provided the supports necessary to advance academically and beyond.

Breakthrough students grow an average of two months in math each summer, as opposed to the two months regression experienced by students without summer programming.

Over the past 10 years, 94% of our graduating seniors have been admitted to college.
