Class Matters

Impact & outcomes

What changes when a teen joins.

We don’t measure activities — we measure outcomes, with denominators and dates attached. Here’s what 15 years of showing up has produced, and exactly how we know.

Since 2010

Proof, not promises.

5,016
Students served since 2010
[39 of 41]
Seniors graduated on time · [2024] cohort
[22]
Average ACT · [vs. 18 district average]
[37]
College enrollments · [2024] cohort

5,016 is the verified counter from the previous site. Bracketed figures need cohort size, year, and the district ACT baseline confirmed before publishing.

How we measure

Numbers a grant officer can trust.

Every figure on this page should carry three things: a denominator, a time period, and a source. “37 college enrollments” means little; “37 of [41] graduating seniors in the [2024] cohort enrolled in college within 12 months” can be verified.

We track outcomes by cohort, using [enrollment records, school-reported data, and alumni follow-up surveys]. Where a metric is new or partial, we say so rather than rounding up.

In their words

The outcomes have names.

Class Matters provides a foundation of experience in teamwork, problem solving, and critical thinking that I wish I had as a high school student.
