Accelerate District Transformation
We believe that in order to significantly increase the number of students learning in A and B schools, we must invest in strategic district partnerships that include building system-wide infrastructure, school creation and transformation efforts, and school improvement strategies.
Catalyze ISD Progress
Good Reason Houston provides financial resources and staff expertise to superintendents and their senior leadership teams to increase the number of students learning in great public schools. Together with district partners, Good Reason Houston will create 35,000 new high-quality seats within traditional ISDs through three key pathways:

School Creation & Transformation
