The new school is a collaboration among the school district, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the College Board, which is best known for the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The College Board Academy’s goal is to create a rigorous academic environment targeting low-income and minority students with the goal of sending at least 90 percent of its graduates to college.
