- When Demarcus came to live with his aunt and uncle at the age of 10, he could barely read, had no confidence in school, and often said "I don't like to use my brain." By the end of his first summer at Aim High, Demarcus was leading class discussions in every subject. Aim High introduced Demarcus to his love of math and gave him the opportunity to explore his Latino heritage, a side of his identity he knew little about. Now a sophomore at Wallenberg High School, Demarcus maintains a B average and hopes to play basketball in college. He returned to his Aim High campus as a Teaching Assistant in Summer 2009 and is considering a career in social work.
- Ventura, a graduate of the prestigious New Leaders for New Schools program and the founder of St. Hope Leadership Academy Charter School in Harlem, New York City, had his first taste of educational leadership when he served as an Aim High Site Director. “When I think of myself as a leader running a school,” Ventura says, “I think back to Aim High, my first experience with a staff, leading a team.” One thing Aim High does powerfully is create a school environment where kids like to be there and adults feel that they are growing and having fun… In education there are a lot of fads, but Aim High has been a constant. Aim High figured out what kind of support is critical for kids and stuck with it.
- In 2009, 40% of California school districts cut back or completely eliminated their summer programs. This trend is expected to continue into 2010 at an even higher rate.

- “ [Middle School is] the point at which children begin to make pivotal decisions regarding their academic and career choices-precisely at a time when they may be distracted or turned off by academic endeavors.” - Supporting Students in their Transition to Middle School (2002). 8th grade academic commitment and achievement outweigh high-school-level performance as an indicator of being on target for college and career readiness. - ACT (2008). The Forgotten Middle. “ Students will be most likely to continue in school and engage fully in learning if they have confidence in their ability to do well and place high value on doing well in school.” Eccles, Jacquelynne S. (2008). Can Middle School Reform Increase High School Graduation Rates? Defined: Youth Development is the acquisition of attitudes, competencies, values, and social skills that will carry youth forward into successful adulthood." -National Research Council “ The transition from middle school to high school is an early indicator of whether students even apply to college, so a bridge program to high school, with a focus on students who are often overlooked, can increase the population of students who find high school success and go on to college. Paek, P.L. (2008, January). Step Up to High School: Chicago Public Schools. “ About 2/3 of the ninth grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning opportunities… As a result, low-income youth are less likely to graduate from high school or enter college.” Alexander, K. Entwisle, D., and Olson, L. (2007). Lasting Consequences of the Summer Learning Gap.
- Viviana grew up in San Francisco’s Mission District after her parents emigrated there from El Salvador. She credits Aim High role models with teaching her confidence and respect, and with opening her eyes to new opportunities. “I visited my first college, analyzed my first book, saw my first live band, and performed my first dissection at Aim High.” The first in her family to complete high school, Viviana is now on the path to earning her Doctorate in Education.
