In Chicago, the Urban Prep Academy, an all male charter school has repeated history for a second year in a row! Next fall, it will send 100 percent of its graduates (all black males) to four year colleges. AOL Black Voices reports:

The school started with kids whose futures had been left for dead by their public schools: Only four percent of the school's incoming freshmen were reading at grade level when they arrived on campus. But by sending all of their graduating seniors to college, they've not only gotten these kids up to speed, they've allowed them to zip past every other public school in the entire United States.


"No other public [school] in the country has done this," said Tim King, the founder of Urban Prep.

When the world says no, you tell them YES!! Congrats to the young men of Urban Prep!
