Reimagining Schools for Students Furthest From Opportunity
Over 2 million high school students each year are at risk of leaving school without a diploma.
These students are often stuck in systems not built for their needs or potential.
Groundswell leads a growing national network of educators, thought leaders, and advocates working together to expand high-quality Opportunity Schools nationwide.
Our goal is that every community provide its most challenged students with schools designed to accelerate learning, foster belonging, and help young people achieve the future they choose.
Groundswell Network exists to change that.
The Groundswell Approach
We shine a light on transformative Opportunity Schools nationwide and codify the drivers of their success.

Groundswell’s Opportunity Schools Quality Framework provides a roadmap to action for elected officials, policymakers, school leaders, and advocates working to build high-quality Opportunity Schools where students furthest from opportunity discover and live up to their abundant potential. The Framework outlines the core elements that make these schools rigorous, supportive, and effective.
