Driven By Our Scholars

At Breakthrough, our scholars’ voices matter! Students give feedback that helps improve teaching, school culture, and support.

Every year, we ask scholars in grades 1-8 to share their thoughts on their school experience, and this year, 1,800 scholars participated in our survey.
