CENTER SCHOOL

Center School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the East Hampton School District school district, located in East Hampton, CT with about 320 students offering grade levels from 4th Grade to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.
