The Institute for the Development of You

The Institute for the Development of You operates a single public charter elementary school, The Institute Development Young Leaders, serving grades K-8 in Durham, North Carolina. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools and received a 1-star rating, indicating it is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its predominantly African American and Hispanic student population.

The Institute Development Young Leaders has significant gaps in mathematics and reading proficiency, with student scores well below the state averages. However, the school's science proficiency rates are more promising, with 5th and 8th-grade students performing above or near the state average. This suggests the school may have strengths in its science curriculum and instruction that could be leveraged to improve performance in other subject areas. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may present unique challenges that need to be addressed to support student success.

Overall, the data indicates that The Institute for the Development of You needs to focus on improving its core academic programs, particularly in mathematics and reading, to better serve its diverse student population and provide a high-quality education. The school's bright spot in science proficiency could be a starting point for these efforts.
