What school district is Downtown Charter Academy part of?
For teachers, this school is simply the best. We are supported by a great on-site administrative team who works with you to help students learn. Having 70 minutes 4 times a week (and 45 minutes on Fridays) to teach core subjects helps a lot. Our test numbers really speak for themselves. This does mean that students don't do normal elective courses during the day, but most students participate in the ASES after-school program from 3:30-5:30 pm and do over an hour per day of enrichment there. I find it to be a good tradeoff for impressive academic results.
