About
NELSON MANDELA ELEMENTARY OPENED ITS DOORS TO 100 KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE STUDENTS IN AUGUST OF 2015. IN AUGUST OF 2016, WE HAD 144 CHILDREN IN GRADES K-2. DUE TO THE INTEREST IN THE SCHOOL, WE ADDED A THIRD KINDERGARTEN CLASSROOM. IN AUGUST OF 2017, WE ADDED THIRD GRADE. OUR POPULATION ROSE TO 178 SCHOLARS. IN THE FALL OF 2018, WE ADDED FOURTH GRADE AND HAD A TOTAL OF 214 SCHOLARS. 85% OF THE SCHOLARS CAME FROM WITHIN 1.5 MILES OF THE SCHOOL. WITH A HIGH POPULATION OF FAMILIES WHO QUALIFIED THROUGH DIRECT CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS, WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CEP (COMMUNITY ELIGIBILITY PROGRAM) FEDERAL FOOD REIMBURSEMENT. THIS IS AWARDED TO SCHOOLS WHO HAVE AT LEAST 85% OF THE POPULATION THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH. THE RACIAL MAKE-UP OF THE SCHOOL IS 93% AFRICAN AMERICAN, 5% CAUCASIAN, AND 2% HISPANIC AND ASIAN.THE FIVE INITIATIVES THAT MAKE NELSON MANDELA UNIQUE ARE: 1) SPALDING READING, 2) SINGAPORE MATH, 3) RECESS EVERY 90 MINUTES, 4) ALL SCHOLARS PLAY VIOLIN, AND 5) YEAR ROUND SCHOOL. A CLIMATE SURVEY ISSUED TO ALL SCHOLARS AND FAMILIES REFLECTED A POSITIVE SCHOOL CLIMATE AND APPROVAL OF THE UNIQUE INITIATIVES. PARENTS DO NOT PAY TUITION FOR THEIR SCHOLAR TO ATTEND THE SCHOOL, BUT ARE REQUIRED TO VOLUNTEER. AT THIS TIME THERE IS A WAITING LIST FOR ALL GRADE LEVELS.
