Yes! Thank you!
I was looking at Save Our Students when I remembered a book I read in middle school. The basic plot was that a high school kid brought in a poem he wrote in place of a book report, and this led to the teacher letting students bring in their own poems to read on a regular basis, with each chapter featuring a kid discussing who they are to the reader, the poem they wrote, and commentary from one kid (whose only trait I remember is that he really wanted to do a poetry slam). For example, one chapter had a girl talk about how her life experiences molded her into The Stoic and her poem was about her wanting others to "let [her] be stone". I don't remember specifically if there was a Save Our Students bent to it, but the kids were definitely inner city school kids. I want to try and find it again, but I don't remember the title.
