CEDAR RIVERSIDE COMMUNITY SCHOOL

CEDAR RIVERSIDE COMMUNITY SCHOOL is a Title I public charter elementary school with about 185 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th 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. With about 18 teachers, CEDAR RIVERSIDE COMMUNITY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

CEDAR RIVERSIDE COMMUNITY SCHOOL (CRCS) is a public charter school located in the heart of the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Serving students in grades K–8, the school is deeply integrated into one of the most culturally diverse urban areas in the state.

The school emphasizes small class sizes and a personalized approach to learning to ensure that each student receives the support necessary to thrive in an urban educational setting.

Beyond its core academic curriculum, CRCS distinguishes itself through a strong focus on community partnership and holistic development. The school views itself as a hub for the local neighborhood, fostering close relationships with families and community organizations to support student success both inside and outside the classroom. By blending academic standards with cultural sensitivity and community-based engagement, CEDAR RIVERSIDE COMMUNITY SCHOOL aims to empower its students to become confident, lifelong learners who are prepared for the challenges of high school and beyond.
