Online resources: In 2006, community leaders in Cincinnati became alarmed by the disappointing statistics on the school failure of children in Ohio and Kentucky. Eventually, more than 300 leaders, including individuals from the public sector, private business sector, and nonprofit sector, joined the dialog and the effort eventually became known as the Strive Partnership. The approach adopted to solving the problem encompasses five critical life stages: early childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, and transition from high school of post-secondary training to the workforce. By 2011, kindergarten readiness in the Cincinnati schools had increased by 9 percent; fourth grade reading and math scores had increased by 7 and 14 percent, respectively; and graduation rates for students from local urban schools had increased.
