Did you know…

  1. Third-grade reading is a leading indicator of academic success. Students reading at grade level by the 3rd grade are 3 times more likely to be college-ready when they graduate.

  2. Happier students perform better. Research shows that positive environments significantly benefit both student outcomes and teacher effectiveness.

Why is this important?

As we start this school year, 60% of Dallas elementary students aren’t reading on grade level. By 2036, 70% of jobs will require an education past high school. With less than half of students on track to achieve that, United to Learn works every day to help accelerate student achievement. Learn how we take a wrap-around approach to creating thriving campuses.

United to Learn’s Reach:

United to Learn unites schools and community, benefiting:

  1. 103 Dallas ISD elementary school campuses

  2. 5,000 Educators

Mission

Change lives by transforming the relationship between schools and community.

Equity Statement

U2L believes that our city's potential lies within our youngest learners, and we know that with the right resources, ALL children can achieve greatness. With nine out of ten children attending public schools, we know that our public education institutions are the bedrock of our society, developing our city’s future workforce, leaders, and civic decision-makers.

Our city’s prosperity can be shared more equitably as more students are prepared for college and career success, thus we embrace our responsibility to address resource gaps in public education to achieve a more equitable, prosperous community.

We know these goals cannot be achieved without advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging across our community. Building cultural competence is a dynamic, ongoing, developmental process, and we appreciate that it requires a long-term commitment.

As an organization, we seek to foster an inclusive team environment, ensuring all feel valued and empowered to contribute to our mission and vision. Through our proven model, we listen first and then mobilize community partners to close opportunity gaps among our public elementary schools and awareness gaps in our city. Together, we embrace our responsibility to learn and lead as an informed network empowered to advance educational equity.
