Capital Preparatory Magnet School and its Principal Steve Perry is a great example of my school reform and the new standards I believe can ultimately achieve new definitions of success. These new standards I suggest include, a new longer school year and school day, a challenging curriculum that provides AP courses(Advance Placement)and college level courses, motivated teachers who are passionate to teach students regardless of circumstance, and an increase in parental involvement. These new standards when enforced in schools show remarkable results and ultimately lead to the success of students and their continuation of learning in college.
