The Neighborhood Academy is a truly exceptional learning community that values character development, the self-respect that comes through hard work, academic achievement, and responsibility to and for the community. Our students learn to think well, write well, and speak well, all with an eye to a future when they will live well. The results of our commitment are simply extraordinary - 100% of our seniors are accepted to college, and our alumni boast an 81% five-year college graduation rate over the past decade. (well above the national average)! We provide the following set of resources to our students and families: 100% of our graduating seniors are accepted to college, tuition assistance, transportation, three meals served every day, guidance through the college application and scholarship process, 16:1 student/teacher ratio, college-prep curriculum, co-curricular after-school arts & athletics, and engaging summer programming.
