Excellent Schools Detroit is a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that every child in Detroit has an excellent education. They believe a child's educational potential starts while from birth and continues into early adulthood. 

Excellent Schools Detroit was formed in March 2010 as a coalition of Detroit’s education, government, community, and philanthropic leaders who released an education plan that recommends bold steps so that every Detroit child is in an excellent school by 2020. The plan calls for Detroit to be the first major U.S. city where 90 percent of students graduate from high school, 90 percent of those graduates enroll in college or a quality postsecondary training program, and 90 percent of enrollees are prepared to succeed without remediation.

The plan requires the implementation of breakthrough strategies in public will building, talent development, new school creation, accountability, and early childhood, all of which will dramatically improve student achievement in schools of all governance models: traditional public, charter, and private.
