Since we are an accelerated program students must have an IQ of 90 or better to enter our school. Students who attend our school sign a contract which says that they agree to our rules and know that it is a privilege to attend our school and that they can be dismissed at any time if they are not living up to their contract. Students in our building also agree to do one day of community service each month. The idea behind this requirement is to allow students to give back to the community which has given them so much. The Community School is on the four block schedule which means that our students are able to complete a semester of work during a nine week school session.
Students can take core classes in the four subject areas in our building.
Students do most of the work for their classes in school, they rarely have to take work home. Research has shown that At-Risk students do not tend to complete work when they leave the school atmosphere. This is just another way we try to foster success for our kids.
