High-impact tutoring (HIT) is accessible to all DC students; however, each school or site selects students for tutoring using their own model, which may be based on student test scores, attendance, or class schedule. HIT is offered at schools, at after-school programs, or through virtual platforms. Though HIT may take a variety of forms, HIT standards help ensure tutoring across sites remains as aligned as possible.
