The Student of Promise Program (SOP) is dedicated to promoting academic, scholastic, social advancement, student-driven interventions and emotional support to our ninth graders in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. Specifi cally, SOP addresses evidence based factors and best practices that increase the high school graduation rate in efforts to close the achievement gap. We are dedicated to promoting our students to the tenth grade, preparing them for the Ohio Graduation Test and growth opportunites beyond high school in addition to linking our students and their families to

the necessary resources as a framework for success.
