LeBron James school that was considered an experiment is showing promise

Unlike other schools connected to celebrities, I Promise is not a charter school run by a private operator but a public school operated by the district. But Mr. James’s foundation has provided about $600,000 in financial support for additional teaching staff to help reduce class sizes, and an additional hour of after-school programming and tutors. Mr. James’s foundation covers the cost of all expenses in the school’s family resource center, which provides parents with G.E.D. preparation, work advice, health and legal services, and even a quarterly barbershop.
