Christopher Simmonds, principal of Care Elementary School. When the school opened in 2015, the statistics weren't very good as it's in Overtown, where many children aren't considered proficient readers. Nine years later, 75 percent of students across the school are reading at or above grade level, and 88 percent are reading at or above grade level in math. He attributes this to great teachers and parents. This school operates in one of The Caring Place facilities. — Marcias Jones assists investors and business owners with their commercial financing needs.
