ACCELERATING AMERICA tells the story of a revolutionary school in Rhode Island that gives inner-city youths who are at risk of dropping out a second chance by accelerating their studies. At the head of the school is a fearless principal, Robert DeBlois, who as a quadriplegic knows something about overcoming adversity.
He offers 130 middle school students a chance to catch up by completing two years of studies in one. The longer trailer states that without this intervention, 80 per cent of the students will drop out of school by the age of 16.
