Our Impact

At NSNO, we believe our city is stronger when our students get an education that prepares them for the future they want, when our families have the power to decide the best paths for their children, and when our educators have what they need to ensure every child is safe, seen, and supported.

Our work facilitates this–we strive to ensure that our students, families, educators, and schools are truly able to thrive.

We strive to ensure students have what they need to thrive in and outside of the classroom–from high-quality curricula, to great teachers, to mental and physical healthcare.

Teaching is the single most important school-based factor in students’ academic growth; we provide educators with resources, support, community, and celebration of their excellence.

We provide funding to support schools’ innovation and improvement.

We provide clear information, data, and storytelling to our community, amplifying the reflections of our students, families, and educators.

We offer clear data and analysis around key issues across our schools and systems, as well as stories from students and educators that highlight their authentic experiences and needs.
