Our Purpose: To transform lives through education
Equality’s purpose is to affect transformative change in the lives of all the people in our community — the parents, the political leadership, the alumni and scholars, and our future children.
All in the Numbers
We are #1 in our district at preparing Middle School students for High School.
Scholars from ECMS who also attended ECHS graduated at a higher rate than their City and District counterparts.
We provide equal opportunities in education to economically disadvantaged communities.

We focus on systemic growth, instead of just test scores.
Equality’s curriculum systematically reinforces incremental growth in core academic courses, while ensuring that our scholars have the personal and emotional resources needed to be successful in life after graduation.
We believe in meeting our scholars where they are and working with them to develop the tools they will need to excel, wherever their life journey may take them.
