Raunel, 15, is
starting his sophomore year at Shoreland Lutheran High School thanks to the Racine
Parental Choice Program. Since started
receiving his scholarship last school year, Raunel has improved in English, earned
his way into the Honors Study Hall, and joined the AV club.
“Last year, I
learned right away that the teachers were willing to help me if I had any
questions. So I asked questions,” Raunel said.
The Racine
Parental Choice Program was created in 2011 and modeled after the
highly-effective Milwaukee Parental Choice Program. Raunel is one of 500 students participating
in the program—the cap on the number of students allowed to participate. Beginning next school year, the enrollment
cap will be removed, allowing more children in Racine to attend the school of their
parents’ choice.
