A great numer of our youth are reading below their grade level struggling with reading comprehension, low math skills, low test scores on the Ohio Mandated Tests, and have behavior problems, which is causing them out of school suspensions. Staff and volunteers collaborate with teachers weekly to help keep the students on track
