Who We Are

North Star & Plans for Impact

We are champions for high-quality public education.

At Opportunity 180 we work in service of a North Star of every kid graduating from high school college and career-ready, prepared to live the life they dream. We are committed to ensuring every kid has access to a great school in their neighborhood, regardless of their zip code.

In Nevada, over 101,000 kids – or nearly 21% of students – attend a school where only 2 in 10 students are on grade level in reading and math (Nevada Report Card). We operate as investors, facilitators, and connectors, working with and through the community to reach our shared North Star and to ensure 100,000 more kids have access to a high-quality school in their neighborhood.

O180 works across five focus areas that have been proven to have the greatest impact on education ecosystems and ensure the best outcomes for kids: Good Governance, Great Ideas in Action, Good Data, Engaged Community, and More Great Schools.
