Her daughter currently attends APS and her son will begin soon. Like ALL families, she wants the best education possible for her children. However, on average only about 65% of students in Aurora Public Schools graduate from high school. When families have the tools and skills they need to support their children’s education at home, these graduation rates can and will improve. https://rise-colorado.org/landing daily 0.75 2020-07-03 https://rise-colorado.org/home3 daily 0.75 2020-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef655379fdc79170b6e64df/1593203519964-YU8LUB0C6ILZEW78LSYL/Copy+of+Copy+of+IMG_9972.jpg Home - Changing the world is possible.
