Achievement First, which runs five schools in New Haven, CT and five schools in Brooklyn, NY that have won praise for their ability to raise the academic achievement of low-income students, has won approval and funding to operate a new school in Bridgeport, CT this fall. In recommending approval of the application, state Commissioner of Education Mark McQuillan said the new Bridgeport charter school aims to build on and replicate the exceptional performance of Amistad Academy in New Haven. Achievement First-Bridgeport will open Aug. 28 with 84 fifth-graders. Eventually, the school will grow to become a kindergarten through eighth-grade school.
