Cassata High School is a private, nonprofit outreach school that is committed to providing young people with another chance at success. Most of Cassata’s students have had difficulty in traditional schools and face serious obstacles to completing their education—for the 2011/2012 school year, 38% of graduates were the first in their family to earn a high school diploma; 19% of graduates were teenparents; and several were former dropouts. In addition to other challenges, the average student enrolls significantly behind in reading and math—several test at only the 5th grade level.; and several were former dropouts.
