We Need Your Voice

School Spotlight: Hope Elementary Charter, Raleigh

Hope Elementary Principal Richard Rubin “wanted to do something different” after leaving the New York public school system, and as he says, “this is different.”
 
With only 120 students, this small K-5 charter school in Raleigh has the freedom to implement innovative teaching for its students and operates like a family. . Rubin believes “teaching is becoming a science; and the more data a teacher has, the better teachers can reach students.”
