AUSL Performance Data

The turnaround model
An AUSL turnaround begins with new leaders, teachers and staff,
additional programs and upgraded facilities, resulting in more
opportunities for Chicago’s children.
• This proven method brings in highly qualified staff specially trained to
work in low-performing schools to help meet the specific needs of those
students.
• Turnarounds have a laser focus on driving student learning, providing
additional academic support in core subjects, implementing a high-quality
instruction and setting transparent goals for schools, staff and students to
reach.
Proven results
Working in some of the District’s most challenging environments,
AUSL has had a profound impact on academic performance and
school culture:
• Thirteen of 16 AUSL turnarounds have outpaced the District average on
ISAT meets or exceeds growth since undergoing the turnaround process.
• In 2013, four AUSL schools, including Piccolo, Herzl, Fuller and Marquette
placed in the top 10 percent of growth for the District. All of these
schools were in their first year under AUSL’s management.
• AUSL turnaround schools have outpaced the District average on NWEA
Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) meets or exceeds growth in core
subjects, including math and science.
