2021 America's Best Urban Schools Symposium: O'Farrell Charter High School

O’Farrell Charter High School is structured upon the belief that all students will learn challenging academic concepts and skills if they are educated in a community that knows, values, and respects them. Unlike schools that merely express a philosophical interest in strengthening adult/student relationships, Principal Rainey has worked with teachers and support staff to structure schedules and job responsibilities to ensure that each student will feel known, valued, and respected by at least one teacher.
