School Reviews
5 1/7/2008
I am a current honors student and getting a lot out of the program. I have learned a lot this year as I have the past two years. I have taken a choir class that I enjoyed, and an art/technology/home ec. combined year class that I have also enjoyed. I haven't been in sports yet, but will be trying out for the track team this spring. I've recieved academic awards for my honors and know they do have athletic award cerimonies too. It was recently updated so the classrooms are all "high-tech" now. The level of parenet involvement is mostly through P.T.O.

Urban Public Schools Come to the Rescue of Black Boys
Public schools across the nation are implementing programs that help keep young black men in school and off the streets. Boosting graduation rates, reducing gang involvement and violence, and providing positive male role models are just a few of the common elements of these programs. Yet, the achievement gap between black boys and other peer groups remains extremely wide.
