About Our School
Thank you for your interest in New Heights Charter School. We welcome students in grades TK-8 to join us in our efforts to create a caring, engaging and safe learning environment for all. Enrollment for 2021-22 has already begun and ends in March 2022.
New Heights was founded in 2006 based on the idea that rigorous learning requires a caring learning community and that students’ academic, social, emotional, and physical development are interrelated. Essential to this vision is a set of beliefs about the importance of school culture and climate.
New Heights Charter School has a strong operating history with consistent positive net income. The school has a large reserve to invest in a location to unite our school population onto one campus.
ACHIEVEMENTS/HONORS:
• Named one of the Top Los Angeles County Public Schools for Underserved Students in 2019 and 2020
• Received full WASC Accreditation since 2007
• For the past three years, New Heights has received the highest ratings for Student Achievement and Educational Performance, Organizational Management, Programs, and Operations, Fiscal Operations, and Governance from the charter authorizer oversight visits.
• Won a Public Charter Schools Dissemination Grant from CDE given to high-quality charter schools to share best practices, one of three given in the state of California.
• Was chosen by Lawrence Hall of Science to be one of three district partners in their 2019 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Professional Learning Partnerships Initiative.
New Heights performed better than the State of California on all dashboard indicators schoolwide, for three subgroups in ELA (socioeconomically disadvantaged students, students with disabilities, and Hispanic students) and for all subgroups in Math.
Sincerely,
Amy Berfield
Executive Director
