PROGRAMS
Forest Park Street School, a member school of the Street School Network, works to meet the needs of youth in Clayton County and reduce the high school dropout rate by giving students a second chance at educational success. The programs and services include:
The Forest Park Street School operates much like a traditional school setting where students change classes throughout the day. Classes are smaller allowing for more individualized attention. Student-to-teacher ratio is 12 to 1 and instruction is student outcome based.
The Hours are 9:30am to 3:35 PM.
Contact Karen Robertson, Principal for more information at 404-363-9600 or email fpsskr@bellsouth.net
The Street School Academy serves students who are in need of only a few credit hours to complete high school graduation requirements. Independent Study classes are available to those who circumstances do not allow them to participate in the daily program. Students enrolled develop a plan of study and then meet with a coordinator once or twice a week. The Dual Credit Program allows students to earn high school and college credits for completed coursework through Atlanta Technical College or Clayton State University. Transcripts are reviewed and monitored by school administrators and guidance counseling is provided. Many of the students enrolled in The Street School Academy qualify for the HOPE Grant or Scholarship. The Credit Recovery Program serves students who attend public school and are in need of only one ore two credits to graduate.

The Youthbuild program in partnership with Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity, will build a minimum of one new house per year for homeless or low income families.
