Children’s success is clearly linked to the quality of their home, community, and school environments. The more engaged the adults and the healthier the environment, the better the children’s outcomes in school and in life.

The radical and rapid improvement of student performance inside Rochester ’s public schools is a community concern. The Rochester Children’s Zone is a comprehensive change strategy that acknowledges student growth and development from birth to adulthood, engages the community as active partners, and promotes a balance of responsibility to support children and families 24/7.

Imagine if all key institutions focused on common objectives and strategies and worked collaboratively to deliver education and surround care to the children and families of northeast Rochester . We could transform our city, create a brighter future, and affect significant change and improvement in the lives and well being of our students and their families.
