Academic Results

The Urban League of Northwest Indiana and DHB & Associates worked quickly to secure 22 site partner locations at schools, community centers, and churches. To help streamline the enrollment process, they also partnered with Enroll Indy to offer a quick, online way for families to enroll in the program. Academic results are shown for groups that had more than 15 students represented in program enrollment for this region.
