| Abstract | There are many barriers to learning, among them are poverty, food insecurity, mobility, and access. Atlas Preparatory School in Colorado Springs, Colorado, attempts to remove these barriers and provide stability, structure, and support--for kids and their parents. They know if they're on the right track and students are learning by using MAP® Growth™ from NWEA®. Stability is crucial for a school that enrolls students coming from high mobility backgrounds--and serves students living in poverty. It is typical for Atlas students to have already attended three or four different schools by the time they arrive at Atlas. Atlas aims to turn this around, however, by offering support in many forms, such as free school supplies, free uniforms, free transportation, a food pantry, and housing assistance for families. In addition, Atlas is focused on helping students grow--no matter where they are. One of the best things about MAP Growth is that it provides a stable measure over time to assess student growth and discover what each student's goals should be and what can be done to change their pathway. One other way MAP Growth helped Atlas at the school level was in recognizing summer learning loss. Instead of moving forward, MAP Growth data suggested that students were losing the first month of school to re-teaching, so Atlas acted by starting a 3-week tuition free summer enrichment program. At Atlas, their ultimate vision is to use education to transform their students' lives. Atlas aims to prepare students for life after high school--and beyond. "What matters is how we can help our students grow and get them to a place where they're ready for high school, college, or the workplace," says Casey McComsey, Chief of Staff at Atlas Prep.
