Founded in 2010, UP Education Network is a Massachusetts-based nonprofit school management organization. It is one of the few in the country that is successfully tackling the challenges of in-district school turnaround. UP operates three schools in Boston, two in Lawrence, and one in Springfield, serving more than 3,000 of the state's historically underserved students.
UP's mission is to rapidly transform chronically underperforming district schools into extraordinary schools that sustain high achievement over time.
