By the end of fifth grade, children from low-income households are nearly three grades behind their more affluent peers. FLOC intentionally supports DC’s most under-resourced students to overcome these challenges, offering guidance from second grade through college and beyond. Each student matches with a tutor for up to four hours of weekly reading or math support (or both), working at their own pace to master critical skills. Tutoring continues over the summer (alongside field trips), mitigating summer learning loss in an engaging environment. Middle and high school students receive personalized college and career-readiness coaching while a scholarship fund and one-on-one advising ensures that college students persist in their education. With 100% of FLOC seniors enrolled in college, this model of individualized attention works – cultivating the confidence that students need for long-term success.
