Omarina's Story

When FRONTLINE first met Omarina Cabrera back in 2012 for the documentary "Middle School Moment," she was a struggling student at Middle School 244 in the Bronx. Today, she's excelling at an elite prep school in New England. FRONTLINE revisits Omarina as part of our continued examination of a groundbreaking program to stem the dropout crisis in America’s high-poverty schools.
