How Did This Happen

 

Carpenter School Studio City - Heather Farquhar and Todd Riley Carpenter School Homes For Sale

So how did Carpenter Community Charter School in the Studio City Real Estate area become a bright star shining in the rather dull constellation that is the Los Angeles Unified School District? Well, the story goes that back in the 70's and 80's, parents pulled their children out of public schools and enrolled them in private schools because of mandatory busing.  In 1985 only about 65 of the 459 (half of what the school could accommodate) students at Carpenter were from Studio City.  Joan Marks, (Carpenter’s principal from 1985 to 2000)knowing her school was close to being closed,  set out on a campaign to save it.

Armed with the area demographics and with a few parents at her side she went door to door enlisting families with school-age children. Her message? ''If you enroll your child in this school, you are not just enrolling your child. You are enrolling your family. If you want to help it be a fabulous school, we need to be a team.''
It worked and it continues to work today. The parents formed a fund raising organization called "Parents for Carpenter"  which has become primary in the school's success, which now enrolls about 850 children and is considered one of the best public elementary schools in Los Angeles.
In September, the school opened a new library that was built through the efforts of the parents' group. The library took four years and about $135,000.
The "Parents For Carpenter" reached out to the businesses in Studio City, many businesses display school supporter certificates in their stores. The school also sells corporate banners acknowledging their support -- for as much as $2,500 each -- which are hung on a fence on Laurel Canyon Boulevard. One of the school's biggest corporate relationships is with CBS Studios, which is just down the street. Not only does CBS donate money to the school it also helps out with building projects. For the new library, it donated carpenters to build bookshelves and seating.

SCHOOLS AFFECTED

 

Colfax Avenue Charter ES
Carpenter Avenue Community Charter ES
Riverside Drive Charter ES

 

SUMMARYOF BOUNDARY CHANGE

 

The service boundary changes are between Colfax Avenue Charter Elementary School and Carpenter Avenue Community Charter Elementary School, and between Colfax Avenue Charter Elementary School and Riverside Drive Charter Elementary School. In 2011, due to increasing resident enrollment at Colfax Avenue school, Colfax eliminated two existing option areas: one option with Carpenter Avenue Community Charter Elementary School was redirected to Carpenter Avenue school, while a second option with Riverside Drive Charter Elementary School had been wholly reassigned to Riverside Drive. In the intervening years, construction has been completed on a new building at Colfax Avenue school, which will allow Colfax Avenue Charter to accommodate more neighborhood students. As a consequence, the decision has been made to reinstate the option areas with Carpenter Avenue and Riverside Drive schools. These changes are occurring at the direction of the Local District Superintendent, in order to help balance enrollments among the schools.

 

July 2010 Carpenter Is Now A Charter School!

 

 

Over the past few years, schools in LAUSD have received less and less funding and resources while trying to maintain the enriched and innovative educational program on which Carpenter Avenue School has built a reputation. In 2010, Carpenter applied to become a District Affiliated Charter with the following goals:

  • Have greater autonomy over our school’s curriculum, budget, and governance.
  • To formalize and institutionalize Carpenter’s mission and vision of providing and enriched educational program that not only meets academic standards established by the state and district, but integrates the arts, technology, physical education and hands-on learning into the instructional program.
  • To involve the whole community (parents, teachers, administration) in the adoption and advancement of our educational program – and at the same time, to make us all accountable for results.
  • To be able to fund innovative programs at the school to close achievement gaps, enhance learning opportunities for all students, and to develop best practices that could be adopted by other schools in the district.

On June 15, 2010 the LA Unified Board of Education approved Carpenter's application and Carpenter was granted affiliated charter status for a period of five years. Over the summer, Carpenter began the conversion effort  and are looking forward to their first full school year as Carpenter Community Charter.
