- At Visitacion Valley Middle School, a school with a long history of poor academic outcomes, NUA provided professional development and on-site support. This included onsite demonstration lessons, summer academies for students and educators, and offsite team-building. For the 2009-2010 school year, Visitacion reported:
- 16 percent gain in math for grade 6
- 18 percent gain in social studies for grade 8
- 40 percent gain for all student assessments for all grades combined
- George Washington High School is a traditionally high performing school which has not had success with lifting the achievement of students of color, i.e., until 2011 where, working in partnership with the NUA, African American students made unprecedented gains of 21 percent from 2010, and Latino students gained 14 percent.
