This report focuses on the School District of Philadelphia’s (District) Renaissance Schools Initiative, the District’s school turnaround model. The Office of Research and Evaluation (ORE) conducted qualitative research in Renaissance Charter Schools and Promise Academies over a period of three months to examine how schools are implementing their turnaround models. This report is a follow-up to a previous report from December 2013 that analyzed changes in student-level outcomes in Renaissance schools during the first three years of the initiative.
