Last night’s edition of 60 minutes showcased a terrific feature on the SEED School (founded by 1998 Echoing Green Fellows Raj Vinnakota and Eric Adler). The SEED school is the first urban public boarding school and has proven to be a successful model in Washington DC. It is located in a district in which only 33 percent of students graduate from high school, and yet 95 percent of SEED students go on to college. Admission is granted by a lottery and any family living in the district can apply. Check out the video below to see these inspiring stories.
