Opportunity Culture Schools 2021–22

As of mid-2021–22, more than 640 schools were implementing, designing, or committed by their districts or states to launch Opportunity Culture designs. 93% of designing and implementing schools are eligible for Title I funding.

The Opportunity Culture initiative grew from 7 implementing schools in 2013–14 to more than 375 schools in 2021–22, reaching more than 120,000 students. Additionally, more than 115 schools have begun designing their plans for 2022–23 implementation. States and districts have committed to launch Opportunity Culture designs in at least 150 additional schools in the next few years. Based on past trends, 200 or more additional schools may join the initiative in 2022.

Note: Schools counted as “committed for future years” include only those to which states or districts have committed formally via a grant agreement, a published strategic plan (such as a state ESSA plan), and/or a contract with Public Impact. For sites that have committed to a range, this count uses the minimum of that range. For sites that have committed to “up to” a certain number of schools, this count uses 75 percent of that maximum, rounded to a whole number.
