Charter school, focuses on environmental ecology (I was an env. sci. major), only 150 kids total. I had 350 in my graduating class, so the whole thing is quite mind-boggling to me. Their goal is to get at least a few kids into 4 year colleges, and give the rest skills to get them an entry-level job. Mostly inner-city (if you can call New Haven a city) kids with very little family involvement and even less money. Hopefully I'll be of some use to them.

Cool.. I remember new haven has many excellent charter schools, focusing on various subjects. My mom always said how great NH's education was...I think she was trying to get me to transfer in.
