Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

Equal Opportunity Schools is reaching out to assure you that we are monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic closely and are working to ensure we meet the needs of our partner districts, schools, and individuals as well as provide for the health and safety of our employees.

We realize this public health crisis has already been disruptive to your district schools and communities and wanted to share what we’re doing to support both our partners and employees in this time of crisis. Steps that we are taking, include:

Closing the Seattle office and transitioning all employees to work remotely, from their home. This ensures your districts and schools continue to receive ongoing support.
Instituting a no travel policy nationwide to protect everyone from potentially being exposed to COVID-19.
Postponing all in-person meetings including regularly scheduled school visits, Equity Leader Labs, regional convenings, and participation at conferences.
Ensuring our employees have access to the necessary solution platforms, required equipment, and supplies to continue interactions and engagements with you, our partners.

We recognize that we are operating in challenging times and thank you for your assistance, patience, and concern for all. We face this unique challenge together as one EOS family. Likewise, we encourage you to look into your communities for ways you might be of service to those who are most adversely affected by the virus and its impact on our society: particularly in the populations we aim to serve.

We will continue to monitor this situation closely and provide regular communications as we receive updates. Above all, we wish for the health and safety of you, your colleagues, and your loved ones as we work through the COVID-19 challenge together. For questions and concerns, please contact us.

EOS’ COVID-19 Statement

Equal Opportunity Schools brings equity to AP and IB.

We collaborate with school districts to increase equitable enrollment in Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) classes, so more students can excel.

Equal Opportunity Schools’ mission is to ensure that students of color and low-income students have equitable access to America’s most academically intense high school programs and succeed at the highest levels.

Our partnership model is consultative, collaborative, and requires a commitment to specific and measurable results. Equal Opportunity Schools (EOS) has helped more than 600 schools identify students of color and low-income students who qualify for, but are missing from AP or IB classes. Working together, we successfully enroll them and support their academic success.

EOS is headquarters in Seattle, Washington and continues to hire professionals to support our growing portfolio of partner districts.

Three-quarters of a million high school students are ready to be enrolled.

Each year, approximately three-quarters of a million incoming juniors and seniors are ready to be enrolled in rigorous academic programs. Unfortunately, students of color and low-income students are not being engaged at the same rate as their peers. We help schools get them enrolled and ensure their success.

Access to AP/IB has a lasting impact.

Increasing the number of low-income students and students of color who enroll in rigorous classes leads to more of those students graduating and attending college. This is one of most resource-effective strategies for tackling the classroom equity gap.

That’s why we’re here.

Equal Opportunity Schools has worked with schools coast-to-coast to help tens of thousands (and counting) students of color and low-income students—among active partners—succeed in rigorous academic programs.

Let’s close the AP/IB gap together.

“My AP class has prepared me so much for the future. I used to be scared having to grow up and the thought of college work would be so difficult.

I had thought that AP classes were mostly for “smart people”, now I know it isn’t about being smart, it is about putting in the time and effort into the difficult things.” Underrepresented AP Student
