NCR School a Model for the Country
NCR Partner Crossland High School Profiled by Department of Education

College Summit-NCR partner, Crossland High School in Prince George’s County, MD, was featured by the United States Department of Education (USDE)  as a model for the rest of the nation on preparing students for college. The USDE and the American Institutes of Research created audio-video packages to showcase how schools and school districts across the country have successfully helped their students navigate the path to college. In June 2011, Crossland’s profile, which featured its 5 years of work with College Summit building a school-wide college-going culture, went live on the USDE best practices website Doing What Works.

Crossland’s profile is now live on the USDE web-site Doing What Works. Read about Crossland’s impressive accomplishments and watch the three videos: Placing Value on Doing Well Academically; Assigning Students to the Right Classes; and Walking Students Through the Application Process.
