the culture
The numbers we consider most important reflect the improved “culture” at CBHS and are based on a 2013 survey of the student body. For example, at CBHS (see page 39 of the Silver Report):
- 96% of students feel it is cool to be smart;
- 85% look forward to coming to school;
- 88% believe that at least one adult at school cares about them;
- 93% feel their teachers care how much they learn; and
- 91% feel their teachers respect different cultures.
“People are great, and teachers are great.”

This website is a case study of a school transformation experience. The conclusion so far is that schools can benefit greatly from the time, talent and treasure of those in the local community.
Can the student outcome improvements generated at Camelback High School can be sustained and replicated? Or were the improvements only due to a unique synergy among this particular group of highly-motivated students, teachers, community leaders and an uninhibited principal?
