Impacting High-Need Demographics

We proudly serve a diverse student population, with 71.5% being socio-economically disadvantaged and 97% Latinx. Despite facing higher educational challenges, our students are achieving remarkable success. Research indicates a disparity in educational attainment among different demographics, but at Navigator, we're changing that narrative.

Closing the Achievement Gap

Our innovative approach has led to our students being 3 times more likely to be on grade level in reading by the end of fifth grade compared to surrounding schools. Navigator students are also twice as likely to attend college. We're not just outperforming neighboring schools; we're bridging the academic gap with more affluent demographics statewide.
