Years ago we work with the good people at Curtis when it was still referred to as a 'neighborhood' school and we continue to work with Curtis even though the school is now under the AUSL umbrella. Why? The children from the area still need our assistance.
The school is name after George Curtis (1824-92). Mr. Curtis was the political editor of Harper's Weekly, a strong advocate for education reform and was an original member of the New York City Board of Education. It's not an understatement to say that Mr. Curtis was a real pioneer in the field of education.
Today, Curtis, led by Principal Ms. Louie, is a PK-8 school that is the home to 502 students. Curtis has a full academic program which also includes instruction in Music and the Visual Arts. Curtis students are supported with Counselors, Social Workers and a school Psychologist. Along with a Head Start program, Curtis has such after-school activities as volleyball, basketball, soccer, baseball and track.
Curtis has made some real growth as indicated by its higher rating to a level of 2+. Hats off to one and all!
