New Century School is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the New Century School school district, located in SAINT PAUL, MN with about 193 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th 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.
