In an independent evaluation commissioned by the New York City Board of Education, The Council for Unity programs generated the following results :

• 94% of participants graduate from high school
• 96% of those attend college
• 70% of participating school principals reported a decrease in violent crime in their schools
• 100% of participants reported that Council for Unity has had a positive impact on their lives
