Beginning this fall, Charity Adams Earley Academy will no longer be a girls-only school. The district is changing the PreK-6th grade elementary school into a co-ed building, allowing both male and female students to enroll.

The decision to make this change has not been easy, but was necessary due to the continued decline in enrollment at Charity Adams and to alleviate the overcrowding at nearby elementary schools.

The district first informed parents of this news on Monday, March 13th. Current Charity Adams students are welcome to return next year. However, the building will no longer be considered a district-wide school, which means the district’s usual transportation requirements will apply. In order for students to receive yellow bus transportation, they must live within the quadrant and be 1.5 miles or more from the school.

Although all details have not yet been finalized, the district chose to share this news with families now in order to provide as much notice as possible. Parents will be receiving more detailed information in the coming weeks and months.
