Certified Schools
See a list of schools earning Certified Opportunity Culture School® status
Certification levels convey strength of implementation in key areas, including selectivity of Opportunity Culture® roles, student access to instruction led by Opportunity Culture® teams, incorporation of small-group, high-dosage tutoring into schedules, and financial sustainability of roles and pay.
Schools meeting design standards and obtaining Certified Opportunity Culture School® status were two to three times more likely to exceed learning growth expectations schoolwide than schools not using Opportunity Culture® staffing designs, according to publicly available school growth and school certification data.
With Opportunity Culture® certification and validation, schools and districts can attract applicants looking for support and career paths, and reassure parents, their community, state, and funders about the strength of their instructional system. For details, see here.

* In 2024-25, 690 schools were implementing Opportunity Culture® designs, reaching more than 200,000 students. Additionally, as of July 1, 2025, Opportunity Culture® sites had committed more than 310 additional schools to launch Opportunity Culture® designs over 2025-26 and the next few years. Schools counted as “committed” 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), a contract with Public Impact®, or some other formal means. 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.
