  • ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends, at a GLANCE 2018-19 Was a Year of Highs and Lows for Yellowstone
    YELLOWSTONE ACADEMY 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends, AT A GLANCE 2018-19 was a year of highs and lows for Yellowstone. At Yellowstone Academy, we continued to see impressive academic gains from Pre-K through 4th grade, and greater access to state-of-the-art assessment data showed us where we can continue to improve our program. Our alumni continued to do well—notably, 100% of our 8th grade class of 2015 succesfully graduated high school this Spring, and many of them have already enrolled in a post-secondary program! For the first time in Yellowstone history, we launched a new public charter school for students 470 STUDENTS 100% OF OUR CLASS OF 2015 in grades 5-8. The energy and excitement around this new endeavor was incredible to 55% FEMALE | 45% MALE GRADUATED HIGH witness! We worked hard to establish a positive student culture, provide effective instruction, SCHOOL and care for our student’s social and emotional wellbeing. Despite truly heroic efforts on the part of our faculty and staff, and measured academic growth among our students, Yellowstone College Prep received an “Improvement Required” rating from the State of Texas. We anticipated this rating for our first year, and we are poised for greater success in 2019-20. As President Kennedy reminded us in his famous moonshot speech, “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.” We remain unbowed in our determination to provide an high-quality education paired with 80% 2020 the wrap-around support our students need to achieve success.

    YELLOWSTONE ACADEMY 2017-2018 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Table of Contents 4 | Academics Dear Friends, 6 | Community Our 15th Anniversary year was one for the books! Engagement Early in the school year, Yellowstone, like many in Houston, felt the effects of Hurricane Harvey. Our campus was spared the worst of the storm, but many of our families—including my own— were displaced, lost wages, or suffered damage to their homes. Fortunately, our community came together and Yellowstone was able to raise more than $100,000 almost overnight. 8 | Extracurricular With this incredible blessing, we waived nearly $40,000 in tuition for the Fall semester, and provided more than $70,000 in direct aid to our families who were hardest hit. Despite the chaotic start to the school year, we are proud to report that our scholars made some incredible academic progress. Check out the stats on page 3 to see an overview of some of the fantastic work our students accomplished this year. 10 | Fundraising The year ended on a high note with our first Party in the Park. This 15th Anniversary celebration raised more than $1.7 million for the Academy. If you missed it, don’t worry—the event went so well that we’re doing it again! Read more about our fundraising efforts on page 10. Looking forward, the future at Yellowstone is bright. The 2018-19 academic year is already off Meet Jade to a fantastic start with the launch of Yellowstone College Prep! The first of its kind in Texas, 12 | and Brandon this new school will enable us to serve nearly triple the number of students by 2022.
