Researchers say that many low-income students select under-performing schools close to home because they are uninformed of the options available. A new app will allow students to put in their address, interest, willingness to travel and other factors to help them explore available high schools and make informed decisions. With more than 400 public high schools to choose from, this app will surely help students with the selection process.
The website is live, but app isn’t yet. The app is expected to go live in the next coming weeks. Visit the website here http://nychighschoolapp.org/#login
The Heckscher Foundation for Children has invested more than $2.5 million in developing the app.
