HISTORY TODAY NEED

ResponsiveEd CEO Chuck Cook has seen firsthand
the effects a lack of education can have on young
adults. Chuck and his wife spent 5 years in inner-city
Los Angeles developing a learning center which
would eventually become the largest privately
funded, inner-city adult education program in the
United States. He decided to return to his home state
of Texas, carrying with him the passion and goal of
preventing as many high school dropouts as
possible. Thus, the ResponsiveEd vision was born.
Today, ResponsiveEd is the largest charter district
in the State of Texas, both geographically and in
number of campuses. We are currently serving
over 3,500 students and have been granted
permission by the Texas Education Agency to
open 10 new campuses!

A growing number of students are not responding to
conventional methods of education. We believe
every student has the capacity to succeed, and we
strive to provide the opportunity for that success.
Research in the area of high school dropouts
indicates that one out of every three high school
students leaves school prior to graduating with a
high school diploma.¹ We are dedicated to seeing
that number decline by providing an environment
where all students can succeed.

CHARLES COOK, CEO
RESPONSIVEED
On behalf of our Board of Directors,
I am pleased to present the Annual
Report for Responsive Education
Solutions (ResponsiveEd). This year
has been one characterized by growth
and achievement.
Our innovative, personalized approach
to learning is becoming the trademark
of our success and a sought after
environment for all educational
systems. Due to this success, the Texas
Education Agency has granted us the
significant opportunity to open 10 new
campuses throughout our state.
In this report, you will recognize, as we
have, a pattern in education that
prevents many students in our nation
from reaching their full potential.
Conventional education, clinging to
traditional methods and practice, are
increasingly unable to meet the needs
of every student. Students with the
ability to succeed academically are
becoming victims of a system that
cannot recognize the individual or tap
into the uniqueness of a person's
learning style. These students lose out
on an education, a paycheck sufficient
to meet their needs later in life, and the
opportunity to teach their children the
value of a high school diploma. The
FUTURE
As we continue to respond to the needs of our
communities, we will continue to be innovative in our
thinking, progressive in our practice, and passionate
in our belief that every student has the right to learn
according to his or her unique abilities and needs.
We will utilize the best technology has to offer, the
creativity our educators provide, and the whole of
our resources to construct learning environments
characterized by success and devoted to the
individual. The call to action has been sounded, and
we will continue to answer that call and change lives.

opportunity that should exist for every
student to graduate and take their

member of our society is fast becoming

something more innovative than
conventional education can offer.
In our Premier High Schools, our
educators and volunteers are
dedicated to fostering an environment
based on trust, character, and
compassion that creates a true learning
opportunity. We believe in the value of
guided independent learning. This
allows us to “be there” when students
first realize the ability to take control of
their education and be responsible for
their own success. To see students
develop a “pride of ownership” and
begin to own their futures is our reward.
Our desire, our hope, is to affect
students today in a way that will
positively affect generations to come.

An alarming number of students in
Texas are failing to graduate from high
school simply because their scholastic
needs are not being met; worse,
they are being ignored. The monetary
cost of losing these children is
staggering—the 2007 class of Texas
high school dropouts alone will cost
taxpayers $377 million.²
Over an expected lifetime of 50 years,
one year's class of dropouts will cost
taxpayers $19 billion. ³

systems in Texas to do so and the only
charter school system to receive this
honor. We were also one of the first 200
systems in the nation to achieve this level of
excellence in education.
ResponsiveEd employees are passionate
about creating learning environments in
which students can achieve their goals.
Our staff want to be part of a team that is
offering an alternative. Many have seen
students who are young and bright and
who wanted to excel beyond what others
in their class were learning. These
students, wanting to surpass the standard
pace of the conventional classroom, were
instead required to keep pace within a
slower timeframe and were not allowed to
accelerate their studies. Our teachers
have intervened by recognizing these
students' talents and desires, which will
ultimately raise the standards these
students set for themselves instead of
being destined for mediocrity.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, we
have seen what happens when a student
gives up. Educators in conventional
uncertain life situations, they drift farther
away from their potential each day. Many
of them have to work outside school
hours. Competing within a school
climate that is not aligned with their
reality, they do the best they can as long
as they can. Often, by the time anyone
takes a hard look at the student's
situation, they have fallen behind in
grade levels and in performance abilities.
With a self-perception that they are
helpless to their situation, they become
lost in the system. At this point, they are
compelled to struggle prematurely within
an adult society before they are prepared
to do so successfully. Lacking the tools
necessary to create a productive life,
many turn to elements of our society that
damage and destroy young and old
alike, namely, drugs, alcohol, and other
forms of escape. Their young lives
become cycles of frustration, anxiety, and
rebellion that destines them to further
failure. ResponsiveEd, through its
Premier High Schools, offers focused
attention, personalized education, and
an intense investment in each of these
students to assure them they can and
will succeed.

Take a look at our students: one yearns to

The key to our success is addressing the

individual needs. Every one of our students
undergoes an academic assessment on his
or her first day. Once the data is analyzed,
administrators and students alike understand
each student’s true status. Best yet, a clear
path for success is then laid out based on
his or her needs. Under the close supervision,
mentoring and monitoring of a dedicated
teacher, each student progresses and
succeeds at his or her own appropriate pace.

SUCCESS STORY:
Joe Cisneros
2007 Brownsville Valedictorian
When Joe Cisneros first arrived on our
campus, he carried with him more than
just school supplies. Already familiar with
failure, frustration, anger and depression,
Joe was in trouble due to excessive
absences and had already been
introduced to the probation system.
Joe thought his life was going nowhere, and
his public school counselor agreed. “Maybe
school isn’t right for you, Joe. Maybe you
should drop out and get your GED.”
Joe realized his bad attitude, disregard for
authority and lack of academic performance
were sending him in the wrong direction.
He knew he needed to change, and he
decided it was up to him to straighten
things out. He needed someone to give him
one more chance.
Premier High School was ready and willing
to give Joe the chance he needed. PHS
helped Joe build character, taught him to
focus on his future and gave him confidence
on the long road back to responsibility. As
each small success showed Joe that he could
accomplish whatever he set his mind to, he
began to see a brighter future for himself.
Now Joe can look back at his successes
rather than his failures. He achieved a
commended status on most of his TAKS
exams and graduated in December 2007 as
the valedictorian of his class.
Having seen over 3,400 students
graduate from Premier High
Schools over the past eight years,
we thrive on knowing that we have
changed lives. Broken in spirit, with
damaged perceptions and negative
attitudes, our students have come
to us needing something different.
With patience and compassion, we
have dedicated ourselves to
change—changing their minds
about learning, changing their
hearts to trust us, and changing
their outcomes to success.
We encounter a population of
students who are either on the
verge of, or have already dropped
out, and some more than once.
They are the disenfranchised. When
the light turns on, their attitudes
change and their goals change:
where there once was hopelessness,
ambition now exists. As they
work through their personalized
programs, these students realize
they are capable, smart and can
truly be successful in school.
We see positive changes not only
in their grades but also in their
attitudes and personalities. They
actually attend school because they
enjoy school. In 2007 alone,
attendance was at a remarkable
91%.
As “transformation” takes place,
the school becomes more than
a school—many consider their
teachers and peers an extended
family. Premier High School
students are not gang members—
they do not fight, they don’t yell.
Instead, they encourage each
other and celebrate their
successes together. Intelligence is
not ridiculed—it is honored. And
in the end, they don their caps
and gowns and join a celebration to
receive their diplomas and
participate in an event they had
only dreamed of before this day.

Joe has learned that the future is limitless if you AS THEY TASTE SUCCESS,
have the right attitude and are willing to make OUR STUDENTS FIND THEY
some changes. Now, he shares this hopeful ACTUALLY ENJOY SCHOOL,
message with his students.

It didn’t take Hailey Hancock long to
recognize that the high school in the
town she had just moved to was not
working for her. So, she took matters
into her own hands a few days into her
Junior year and submitted an essay to
her father requesting that she be allowed
to change schools.
Hailey’s father, who knew Hailey to be a
self-motivated self-starter, agreed to her
request. Hailey was allowed to attend
Premier High School, a school that
offered the kind of flexibility and
opportunity she was looking for.
“Premier has worked out really well for
us. Hailey was given the encouragement
and freedom to work at an accelerated
rate,” her father said.
Success came quickly. Hailey graduated
early from high school and she was also
the recipient of more than $20,000 in
scholarships to Texas Lutheran
University in Seguin. Hailey considers
herself to be a regular kid who just
recognized a great opportunity when
she saw it. “I recognized the opportunity
that I had… and I began working hard as
soon as I got there,” she said. Next on

 JUDGE TOUTS THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF PREMIER HIGH SCHOOLS

Judge David M. Cobos has been working
in the areas of law enforcement and criminal
justice for almost 30 years. His experiences
include serving in the administrations of
three Texas Governors; Bill Clements,
Ann Richards and George W. Bush all
recognized his dedication and innovative
approach to crime prevention.
Throughout his career, he has witnessed
numerous programs aimed at crime
reduction. He says that some worked and
others did not. But, over the course of his
career, he has seen several common
denominators for persons involved in
crime—one of those is a lack of education.
school personnel is essential in order to help
students stay in school.
“We have made progress, and in the past
two years, our statistics show that juvenile
cases filed have dropped 50%. I believe
this success is the direct result of our
partnership with local campuses, especially
Premier High School,” he said. “Premier
has made a tremendous positive impact
on our community. They have helped
numerous teens that I know would not
have finished school without their support.
These students would have dropped
out completely.”
Judge Cobos’ relationship with Premier has
continued to deepen. Not only has he spent
a decade working with the Principal and
staff there to help truant teens but also he
has recently encountered the school
through the eyes of a parent. His youngest
son decided to attend Premier High after
struggling in another public school.
“I saw something happen to my son. When
he was given the opportunity and the
challenge to rely on himself and not wait to
be told what to do, he learned to push
want. He said that initially, he thinks some of
that did happen, but now, he believes that
charter schools provide a much-needed
choice for students and parents.
“I think Charter schools are invaluable in
the choice they bring to our communities.
Properly run schools like Premier give
students a chance to reach their full
potential—to develop as a whole
person. These campuses are small,
personal and they give the students
the one-to-one attention that many of
them need. Once you taste success,
you want more success. Premier
provides an environment for students
to excel and taste success little by little,
and they gradually build confidence.”
Judge Cobos also believes that having
a choice where to go to school empowers
students and parents. “Attending a
Charter school is a choice, and I’ve seen
how having that choice affects the mindset
of students and parents. They have an
increased interest which leads to greater
achievement. They start to take ownership
of their studies and then their future.”

Judge Cobos has spent the past 10 years
hearing all truancy cases in the county. Over
the years, he has developed a relationship
with local schools including Premier High
School and says that communication
between the court, truancy officers and
“
himself.” His son graduated and is now
preparing to attend college.
Judge Cobos admits that in the mid ‘90s
when charter schools were first introduced,

model for the rest

INTRODUCING...

VISTA ACADEMIES: Creating Professional Learning

Communities in the ResponsiveEd Family of Schools

Vista Academies, part of the ResponsiveEd system of schools, are elementary

campuses striving for, and reaching, excellence. The secrets to success are
three-fold: energetic teachers who care combined with a personalized approach
to the classroom in an environment that takes accountability for each child.
HICKORY CREEK CAMPUS
In typical elementary classrooms, teachers are helpless to differentiate instruction
that meets the needs of every child. This reduces the potential for all students,
those needing more challenge and those needing more assistance. Vista
Academies address this complex problem by creating a blend between dedicated AMARILLO AND
teachers and innovative technology. While teachers provide the structure HICKORY CREEK
necessary for young students to mature and progress, technology designed to RECEIVE RECOGNIZED
know the difference between each child's needs and abilities is utilized to ensure STATUS IN FIRST YEAR
student learning.
Amarillo ...... Recognized
Each student attending a Vista Academy is diagnosed with appropriate measurement Hickory Creek ...... Recognized
tools to assess his or her current level and potential. Teachers develop personalized Huntsville ...... Acceptable
learning opportunities based on the child's learning style and ability to progress.
This approach, combined with a low classroom size, allows children to learn and
develop an effective self-perception of themselves as learners.

Students are excited to come to school. Parents are grateful for a choice in
education. Teachers are loyal to the approach. From the moment of enrollment,
everyone involved knows that Vista is a community. The concept was developed
to create a school environment that enhances and complements the
ResponsiveEd commitment to personalized education. Student performance,
parent satisfaction, and staff enthusiasm are all evidences of the commitment
Vista Academies have to the ResponsiveEd vision. All facts and figures reported
