Less than one in four ninth graders in Atlanta Public Schools is expected to graduate from college. Recognizing the commitment and progress made by many organizations that have been working for years in the Atlanta metro area, we are thrilled to join this community and bring a unique in-school, teacher-led model that prioritizes students that are not currently being served by other interventions.
OneGoal joins the Achieve Atlanta portfolio of organizations and will begin serving Fellows in Atlanta Public Schools in the fall of 2017. We will soon after expand to additional metro areas, including Cobb, Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Clayton.
“OneGoal’s demonstrated expertise in college access and persistence, and their results were so compelling that we knew we wanted them to come to Atlanta.”
Tina Fernandez
Executive Director
Achieve Atlanta
There is a tremendous coordinated effort from the municipal government, public school districts, post-secondary institutions, and the corporate community to improve college graduation rates. We are eager to engage with this community to leverage data and insights in pursuit of our shared commitment to college success for all.
“The work we do at OneGoal helps both harness and unleash the potential that resides in individual students, leaders, and the community at large. Nothing fuels me more than seeing this potential actualized and contributing to a world we can all be proud of.”
Brooke Flowers
Executive Director

“Atlanta Public Schools is proud to partner with OneGoal to tap high-achieving educators to support students in fulfilling their dreams and ensuring they have choice-filled lives. This strategic and critical effort aligns with our mission to graduate all students ready for college and career.”
