Louisville, Kentucky's Fern Creek Traditional High School is now a national model for a "turnaround" high school. Before turning itself into a communications, media, and arts magnet school, Fern Creek was performing better than only 5% of Ky high schools. Renee Shaw talks with Principal Houston Barber about the state's intervention and students taking ownership of the school's success. This program features two panel discussions: a look at the economic, educational, and social policies that impact academic success among students at risk due to poverty; and an exploration of how school, community, and family can counter the effects of poverty and help students succeed.
