in collaboration with

Made possible by the Small Schools. Big Choices. Explore the possibilities.

Congratulations. As an eighth grade student, you are about to make one of the most important choices in your academic career—you are about to choose a high school. You are in luck. New York City has more than 300 high schools from which you and your family can choose. Each is different. They offer a wide range of classes, programs, and activities. Great high schools in our City engage you in difficult and challenging course work in safe and respectful envi- ronments. They prepare you for life after high school, going to college and getting a good job. New Visions for Public Schools has put together The New York City Guide to Small High Schools to describe new opportunities in the public high school system: over 200 small secondary schools created over the last five years. These small schools are part of the Department of Education’s efforts to create more choices for thousands of students like you so that you can succeed as citizens of New York City. Nearly 50 of the schools described in this Guide are new. They have been created by over 225 different organizations, including New Visions for Public Schools, the Asia Society, City University of New York, The College Board, The Institute for Student Achievement, International Partnership Schools, the New York City Outward Bound Center, Replications and The Urban Assembly. What is special about these small schools? Most enroll 500 or fewer students. Like large high schools, small schools work to ensure that you and your classmates are able to graduate from high school. Small schools are places where the principal and teachers know you and your family by name. They provide rigorous, Regents-level curricula and enable you to meet state requirements. But each small school is unique because it is designed around a theme or set of activities. This academic focus complements the traditional high school curricula by building on your own interests and strengths and striving to be relevant to your life and dreams. Thousands of New York City students from all parts of the city are already attending small high schools. They and their families are part of an important new development in our city and now you and your family can join too. Follow the instructions in this New York City Guide to Small High Schools to explore the many small high school choices available to you by Fall 2006. Be sure to par- ticipate in the high school fairs for these new schools in September too! No school is right for everyone. Take a look through this Guide and see if there is a small school that is right for you. Big or small, the high school you choose should welcome your parents or guardians, recognize your individual talents and strengths, and challenge you to build upon the talents you have while developing new skills. A great high school will help you graduate and go on to attend college or get a good job. Don’t settle for less. inside the guide

Most small school teachers try to combine strong academic expecta- tions with content that students want to learn. They encourage you to think and solve problems. These schools employ a variety of world-class teaching and learn- ing techniques, like: student-initiated research and analysis, examination of real-world problems, deep exploration of topics, hands-on demonstrations and presentations, and multi-disciplinary group projects.

Small schools have been designed using There is no greater feeling than walking everything we know about how students “ learn more effectively.

Over the last decade, New York City has created more than 200 small high schools in all parts of the city. Most of these schools teach traditional subjects and prepare students to pass the five Regents exams—just like other New York City high schools. So what is the big deal about small schools? Why are educators in New York City and across the United States creating thousands of new small schools for young people? Across the country, the research about high schools is clear: small schools can help many different students succeed in school. Researchers are finding that small schools address a number of important problems: Education matters more than ever before. In the 21st century, students must have high academic skills to get a good job or go to college. The school you choose must have rigorous and demanding classes and expect you to do difficult work. Work with your parents to make sure that the high school you choose can prepare you for the new, high skills economy. Too many students don’t have basic reading and math skills. Students will not succeed in going to college or getting a good job unless they can read complicated material and understand algebra. Schools with many different choices of courses and classes are not helpful if you are not reading, writing or understanding math well. Without these essential skills, you will have a hard time getting ahead after school. Too many students drop out and don’t graduate from high school. In New York and throughout the country, too few students are graduating from high school in four years. New York City has a four-year cohort graduation rate of 51%. We can do better! You need to graduate as quickly as you can and move on to the exciting challenges of life as an adult. Too many African-American and Latino students are falling behind. You may have heard of the “achievement gap.” While many students of color are attending high school, they are not getting the skills they need to be successful in college or their job. Go to a school that does not leave you or your friends behind. Work with your friends, your parents and your teachers to help every student graduate! We have enormous unused creativity and capacity among the staff in our schools. New York City has extraordinary teachers and principals in every school. Many understand what needs to change to make our schools more effective. Teachers and principals across New York City have joined community partners and others to re-imagine public education and design public high schools that support all students. In a small school no one “ Look closely at all high schools, big and small, and make the is more than the other one, right choice for you. Many teachers in big and small schools everyone is the same, are working to create better schools in many different sizes and everyone is number one. forms.

If you and your friends are to meet higher demands and expectations, schools must engage you as learners, build on your strengths and help you overcome barriers to your learning. That is why so many small schools are partnering with community organizations. More than 225 community organizations, including cultural institutions, hospitals, colleges, community-based organizations, theaters and others, have participated in creating and sustaining many of the schools described in this Guide. Their goal is to create new relationships between you, your teachers, your school and your neighborhood. How do school partners do this? They bring new resources into the schools—from financial support to internships to expertise in meeting students’ needs. They play many different roles: Writing, Developing or Selecting Curriculum. Partners help envision the school’s theme and develop its curriculum. Often, they bring a special expertise in teaching and learning and assist in co-teaching classes or ensuring college readiness. Offering Professional Development. Partners support teacher mentoring and offer professional development to staff. Providing Academic Supports and Extended Learning Opportunities In and Out of School. Partners offer internships or field studies, opportunities for advanced studies, such as college courses and internships, mentorships, tutoring and enrichment programs and exposure to the world of work and career education. Raising Standards/Broadening Perspectives. Partners help support high expecta- tions. In addition to advance studies and internships, they help develop assessment plans (rubrics, portfolios, etc.) and involve parents in supporting academic rigor. Providing Instructional Resources. Partners provide professional expertise through guest lecturers, professional environments and visiting artists to help develop a students’ personal connection to literacy and numeracy. Building Relationships with Parents and Communities. Partners help bridge the divide between schools, parents and communities by engaging them in the life of the school.

Just like you, partners have different assets. No partner can do all of these activities on their own. Some act as intermediaries, creating multiple schools over several years with similar design features. Others serve as lead partners with a long-term commitment to the schools they help create. Still others act as collaborating partners, offering a broad range of resources to help support learning and student success. All of these organizations are changing the relationship between schools and their communities. They are commit- ted to see you succeed. Who is partnering with students, parents, teachers and principals to create a new generation of high schools? The following is a partial list of the growing numbers of community organizations who are actively involved in improving academic achievement and student success in New York City’s small schools. Look it over and see if there are organizations you recognize. Contact them to learn more about their involvement in creating new opportunities for New York City’s high school students.
