Arts used as tool to improve graduation rate � Philanthropy North Carolina: CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Ninety-six percent of students enrolled in the National Center for Arts & Technology at Pittsburgh’s Manchester Bidwell Corporation graduate from high school, and 89 percent go on to higher education.
Based on the Pittsburgh model, the Arts & Science Council in Charlotte has teamed with Mecklenburg County and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools to launch Studio 345, a free after-school program that aims to improve the graduation rate in the county by incorporating the arts in a studio setting into all subjects in the curriculum.
