No Excuses Education

No Excuses University is a network of elementary, middle, and junior high schools across the United States. These schools actively promote a comprehensive model of college readiness to all students the moment they begin elementary school. Our teachers and administrators receive special ongoing training in order to meet the standards of this rigorous program.
 
Every No Excuses University campus works diligently to expose students to powerful college symbolism. This symbolism is seen in the college flags and banners hung on every door, felt though the close partnerships forged between classrooms and universities, and heard in the college chants that exist at each grade level.

Lu Sutton Elementary is part of the No Excuses University Network and has established a well-defined process for identifying and creating the following exceptional systems:

• Culture of Universal Achievement
• Collaboration
• Standards Alignment
• Assessment
• Data Analysis
• Interventions
