Phoenix Academy

Also in the Friday the 13th edition of the N & R is a story I wrote on a "turn-of-the-screw" related to Phoenix Academy, High Point's only charter school.

A quick synopsis:

Phoenix Academy is in Piedmont Centre, has about 325 students and serves K through 7. Last year, the school's board announced plans for a relocation and expansion. The new site would be 23 acres near Clinard Farms and Walpole roads, on the site of Piedmont Crossing, a large residential/commercial development being built by Charlotte-based Faith Properties.

What's new:

The land purchase for the school is complete, which means work on the new school building will begin before this month ends. The expanded academy ultimately will serve K through 12 and have up to 1,000 students. The targeted opening date is prior to the 2006-2007 school year.
