Can my child skip a grade? Or be held from moving to the next grade?
Children mature, grow, and learn at different rates, often having little to do with their age. We believe that age is not the best determinant of grade placement and that sometimes it’s in the best interest of the child to take an extra year to mature or master content. Thus, holdovers — and sometimes skips... Read more

A message from Eva Moskowitz and Daniel S. Loeb
We are pleased to invite you to the Success Academy Spring Benefit on Monday, April 7, 6:30 p.m. at Cipriani 42nd Street. This will be a very special evening, as we celebrate our Success Academy alumni – their work ethic, their achievements, and their aspirations. We hope you will join us to hear their stories!
Nearly 20 years ago, we launched a revolution in schooling. We promised students, families, and educators that there is a better way – that they didn’t have to settle for failing district schools. Today, Success is one of the nation’s highest-achieving school districts, educating 22,000 K-12 scholars across 57 schools in New York City. Ninety-five percent of our scholars are children of color and three-quarters live at or below the poverty line, but they consistently outperform their affluent suburban peers across the wide range of external exams from New York State tests to APs and SATs. All our scholars – 100% – have been admitted to 4-year colleges, most of them with the financial aid that makes higher education possible for their families.
After two decades, we have demonstrated that we can reverse, not just close, the achievement gap. Our alumni are proof that exceptional outcomes are possible for all children, and that great schooling can be achieved at scale. As they graduate from college, they are paving the way for those who follow, serving as campus leaders, earning advanced degrees, and launching careers in STEM, finance, and education, among many other fields. We could not be more proud of them and all that they stand for.
We remain steadfast in our belief that every kid deserves a great public school. And we are more ambitious than ever, expanding as quickly as we can to serve more kids and more families. You have been so generous in your support for our schools and our scholars. We hope to count on you once again on April 7 as we show what kids can do given the opportunity to work hard and dream big.
Warmly,
Eva Moskowitz, Founder & CEO
