CITY NEIGHBORS HIGH SCHOOL

City Neighbors High School is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the Baltimore City Public Schools school district, located in Baltimore, MD with about 408 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th 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 27 teachers, City Neighbors High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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.

City Neighbors High School (CNHS), located in the Hamilton-Lauraville neighborhood of Baltimore, is a public charter school that emphasizes a project-based, student-centered approach to learning. Built upon the principles of the "City Neighbors" model—which focuses on the whole child, democratic governance, and social justice—the school seeks to provide a personalized educational experience. The curriculum is designed to move beyond traditional testing, instead encouraging students to engage in deep inquiry, real-world problem solving, and interdisciplinary projects that connect classroom work to the broader Baltimore community.

The school is defined by a strong focus on community, collaboration, and student voice. Students at CNHS are often active participants in shaping their learning environment, and the school maintains a culture that values relationships, inclusivity, and the development of the "whole human." By prioritizing arts, humanities, and community-based internships alongside core academics, City Neighbors High School aims to graduate empowered, creative, and socially conscious citizens who are well-prepared for life after graduation, whether in college or career.
