Mission
The mission of Green Dot Public Schools is to help transform public education so all students graduate prepared for college, leadership, and life.
We are focused on graduating students and fully preparing them for college. In addition, Green Dot is dedicated to helping parents organize and expect more of their neighborhood schools.
We achieve better student outcomes and higher graduation rates serving students who need the most, lower per-pupil funding, and a unionized workforce across our Los Angeles schools.
The U.S. Department of Education has featured Green Dot as a national leader in school turnarounds.
