Twin sisters Keaona (l.) & Keria Gray are in the 4th grade at PS 335 in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where they attend an after-school program that is credited with the school's success on state exams.
Every four weeks, teachers and administrators from Public School 335 in Crown Heights sit down to discuss what each child needs, Principal Laverne Nimmons says.
That relentless focus on improvement has paid off.
