The main features of enhanced option schools are class sizes of 15:1
and twenty (20) additional days of school for students. Enhanced option
schools also include Pre-K programs, social services, an Encore teacher
for gifted and talented students, and after school care. The teachers
receive additional training in reading and mathematics. The curriculum
has a strong emphasis on ensuring success for all students. Core
academic areas include reading, writing, mathematics, social studies
and science. Related arts courses are the same as in other elementary schools.
