Citizens Academy of Cleveland, Ohio, is one of the top-performing urban schools in the state, and since 1999 has developed a national reputation for its commitment to academic excellence and responsible citizenship. Our school currently serves nearly 400 students at the K-5 level, and plans to add a preschool in 2010/11 and a middle school in 2011/12. Ninety-seven percent of Citizens Academy's students are African-American and 80% are economically disadvantaged. Breakthrough Charter Schools (BCS) is a newly formed non-profit charter management organization that supports four of the highest performing urban public charter schools in Cleveland: Citizens' Academy, Entrepreneurship Preparatory School, Village Preparatory School, and The Intergenerational School. BCS's goal is to support the unique educational models of each BCS school, while building a shared operational platform that can support the launch of more high-performing schools. The BCS schools currently serve 1,000 students, expecting to serve 10,000 students in current and new schools by 2020
