    The Education Trust-West

     Press Room


    The Education Trust—West is the West Coast partner of the national policy organization, the Education Trust.  We believe that all children can achieve at high levels when they are taught to high levels, and our mission is to ensure that all students in California, particularly low-income students and students of color, receive the same opportunities for high academic achievement as other students across the state. To achieve that goal, The Education Trust—West works alongside policymakers, parents, education professionals, and business and community leaders to transform California’s schools and colleges into institutions that genuinely serve all students.
