HARLEM LINK CHARTER SCHOOL

HARLEM LINK CHARTER SCHOOL is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the HARLEM LINK CHARTER SCHOOL school district, located in NEW YORK, NY with about 414 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten 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. With about 41 teachers, HARLEM LINK CHARTER 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.

HARLEM LINK CHARTER SCHOOL, located in the heart of Central Harlem, is a K–5 public charter school dedicated to providing a rigorous, high-quality education that emphasizes both academic achievement and character development. Founded with the mission to serve the local community, the school operates on the belief that children thrive in an environment that balances high expectations with strong interpersonal relationships. By integrating a challenging curriculum with a focus on core values like compassion, collaboration, and persistence, Harlem Link aims to prepare its students to succeed in competitive middle schools and eventually college.

Beyond its academic rigor, the school is deeply rooted in the Harlem community, often viewing itself as a neighborhood anchor that partners closely with families. The school utilizes a "Linked" approach, which emphasizes the connection between student learning, family involvement, and community engagement. With a structured environment and a commitment to data-driven instruction, Harlem Link strives to close the achievement gap, ensuring that every student—regardless of their starting point—receives the support necessary to reach their full potential and become an active, contributing member of society.
