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.

Transforming Public Education

Robotics-03

Help open great public schools that deliver on the promise of closing historic achievement gaps, and give all students an equal opportunity to succeed in college, leadership and life.

Nine Green Dot high schools are ranked among the best in the nation, according to US News & World Report, with four being in the top 10%. 

Students are typically entering Green Dot schools testing in the bottom 10% but are beating the college-ready graduation rate for the state.

Green Dot students are more likely to graduate college-ready than students in neighboring schools.
