I nominate the Caesar Chavez system in DC! They have significantly raised the reading and math scores of their children, most of whom come from immigrant, poor families who don't speak English at home. But the dedication, hard work, and individualized attention means that their students SOAR!

I love the public policy frame at Caesar Chavez, they really ask kids to wrestle with big questions.
