Description: In 2005, Leestown Middle School African American males were academically the lowest performing student population according to the CATS assessment and had the highest number of office referrals.
There was very limited representation of African American males on the Honor Roll and this population seemed to be socially focused rather than academically focused.
Disturbed by the data, Mrs. Roszalyn Akins founded the BMW Academy as a way to reach, teach and keep this population of students from failing.
First Baptist Church Bracktown had an established relationship with Leestown Middle School through the African American Coalition "Adopt A School" program. Mrs. Akins extended this relationship into a partnership that focused on student achievement and academic success.
