Supporters of the LeBron James-backed I Promise School criticized Akron officials on Monday in a board of education meeting over remarks about students' test scores.
Children in the school have to test in the bottom 25% of reading scores in the district by the end of the second grade to get into the school, according to the Beacon Journal. The I Promise School says its mission is to"those students who are already falling behind and in danger of falling through the cracks."
Although the I Promise School is considered a public school, it operates in partnership with the LeBron James Family Foundation. The school receives identical local, state and federal funding as any other public school. The school also provides support for students and families who are struggling, including housing, food and even job training for parents.
New school signage is seen at the grand opening of the I Promise school on July 30, 2018 in Akron, Ohio. "We appreciate our community and family members having the passion to come here and advocate for their students and families," the LeBron James Family Foundation said in a statement.
