Central Park School for Child
This is an excellent school that offers academic challenge as well as hands-on project based work. This is not a school that teaches to the test, yet students do well on EOGs each year. The school has successfully met the philosophy of its charter, which was renewed for another 10 years. The arts are integrated into classwork, and students are encouraged to investigate, think critically, and explore subject matter. Field work is one of several methods for gathering information, and the students learn to represent data gathered in a wide variety of ways. Children enjoy coming to school at Central Park, and it is a popular school. It truly is a wonderful learniing envionment.
