METCO is a renowned program that has been integrating classrooms since 1966, providing Boston students of color with the opportunity to attend predominantly white school districts. With a focus on racial and ethnic diversity, METCO aims to create an inclusive learning environment where students can experience the advantages of studying and working in a diverse setting.
Through random assignments to suburban districts, METCO students commute between their Boston homes and schools, becoming full and equal members of the school community. Over the years, METCO has positively impacted thousands of students, supporting families in multiple participating suburban school districts and public schools, with graduation rates and college attainment surpassing state averages. Beyond academics, METCO fosters an appreciation for diversity, encourages the building of inter-racial friendships, and prepares young people to become global citizens.
