Planning for Post-Secondary Success for All Students

A cohort of Massachusetts schools working together to deepen their understanding of high school students’ experiences to better address student needs and promote postsecondary success.

The Planning for Post-Secondary Success for All Students cohort offers New England schools an opportunity to take a close look at their students, their experiences in high school, and their post-secondary readiness in order to cultivate a comprehensive, strategic plan to better serve them.

In September 2018, five school districts across Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire were awarded a total of $750,000 to engage in this work with the support of strategic consulting firm, EY-Parthenon.

EY-Parthenon conducts deep quantitative student data analysis for the school districts, provides team coaching and support on interpreting data, and facilitates the development of actionable strategic plans for each district. The cohort of schools meets regularly to share their knowledge and learn from each other.

Participating School Districts:

  • Hartford Public Schools (Hartford, Connecticut)
  • Malden Public Schools (Malden, Massachusetts)
  • Manchester School District (Manchester, New Hampshire)
  • Portland Public Schools (Portland, Maine)
  • Worcester Public Schools (Worcester, Massachusetts)
