Congress finds the following: Students are most successful when they have personal, attentive support. Turning schools around requires collaboration among teachers, administrators, counselors, business leaders, the philanthropic sector, and community members. National service provides valuable support to elementary schools and secondary schools and has a record for improving student academic achievement. The purposes of this Act are to— strengthen and accelerate interventions in the lowest-performing elementary schools and secondary schools; provide financial support to eligible entities that serve low-performing schools; significantly improve outcomes for students in persistently low-performing schools by— providing opportunities for academic enrichment; extending learning time; and providing individual support for students; and improve high school graduation rates and college readiness for the most disadvantaged students.
