Worcester is embarking on a strategic planning initiative toward making the Worcester Public Schools one of the best urban systems in the country. While we do better than most urban systems in the state, there is much more that can be done to meet the needs of our students and the community.

The Worcester Education Collaborative and the Worcester Regional Research Bureau fully support this groundbreaking initiative and are proud to be able to contribute to this effort.
