And it’s opening up new opportunities for kids. Trying to figure out where you’d like to teach? Our Compare Regions tool can help. Compare Regions Over the last decade, Indianapolis (affectionately known as "Indy") has risen as a national leader on the front lines of innovation in P-12 education. More than any other urban city in the country, you’ll find schools, communities, nonprofits, government entities, companies, and foundations working together towards a common mission of equity for our kids. Collective action for educational equity is not only a result of the city’s relational culture—but a moral imperative. By the time Indianapolis students are 10 years old, they are grade levels behind their more affluent suburban peers. Alarmingly, the graduation rate of low-income students and students of color in Indianapolis Public Schools is about 45 percent lower than that of peers in affluent suburban communities. Only 30 percent of Indianapolis students enroll in post-secondary education, and a mere 17 percent persist to their second year of study. Fortunately, a movement for change is gaining momentum in the Circle City. And, as is true in any successful endeavor, wherever you see strong results, you find diverse coalitions of breakthrough leaders driving the effort. Teach For America has come to play an essential role as a primary source of leaders who expand opportunity for children from classrooms, schools, and every sector and field that shapes the broader systems in which schools operate.
