After ten years of working with public elementary and middle schools across California to increase educational equity through the arts, Turnaround Arts: California commissioned Moxie Research to evaluate our impact to date and key drivers of success.

As Moxie Research found, the Turnaround Arts model demonstrates an effective approach to school transformation to better support students and create a brighter, more equitable future.

Turnaround Arts: California extends our deepest gratitude to the thousands of educators and students, partner arts organizations and coaches, our board and staff, and our partners at the national Turnaround Arts program at The Kennedy Center who help make this work possible and who contributed their time and insights to this evaluation.
