In a community that aspires to provide opportunity for all . . .                                                                                                                     About half of our low-income student majority will graduate from high school.                                                                                                                     Those who do graduate perform, on average, at an eighth grade level.                                                                                                                     And fewer than 1 in 10 low-income students will graduate from college.                                                                                                                     It doesn't have to be this way.                                                                                                                     Support Altadena Unified School District.
