Bottom Line
This is why we come to school every morning… We Believe 100% of Wyatt Academy scholars will be college ready. We are a learning community united by great teaching, high academic standards, and rigorous accountability on the tireless pursuit of success for our scholars; preparing them for high school, college and beyond.
Wyatt will close the gap in achievement!
The Reality
There are two possible outcomes for Wyatt: 1. The DPS Board or the Wyatt Board could revoke or non-renew our charter 2. Wyatt could receive a short-term renewal in 2015 with continued support and oversight from DPS.
