FROM THE DIRECTOR OF BULLY
THE STORY OF CROSSTOWN HIGH
THE FIRST CLASS documentary follows the founding class of Crosstown High in Memphis, one of the innovative XQ schools redefining the future of learning—at a time when new approaches are necessary.
Each new school year, 3.6 million students enter high school in the United States. [1]
Less than half of those who graduate will be ready for college or career. [2]
In Memphis, that number
is only 20 percent. [3]
THIS FILM IS MORE THAN A DOCUMENTARY: IT’S A POWERFUL TOOL TO INSPIRE ACTION, AND ULTIMATELY TRANSFORM HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION.
