What Makes Our School Unique?

 

    Park Avenue Enhanced Option School is the place to be! We serve students in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade Four. Our students are from the geographically zoned area around the school, children of worksite parents, MNPS employees, as well as children who live in the Pearl Cohn Cluster and Davidson County.

    This is the fourth consecutive year the school has earned a status of “Good Standing ” based on No Child Left Behind evaluations.

    Our classrooms are student-centered, knowledge based, and driven by assessment results. Focusing on the core belief that all students can learn, we work to provide many opportunities for students to practice and demonstrate achievement of reading, writing, and mathematics skills, as well as social skills.

    We value our partnerships with parents and community members. We all benefit as members of this dynamic learning community.

    We invite you to visit our school and join our excitement!
