Two days before classes started we were called. Turned out families did not understand that the charter school started two weeks earlier than the public school and some families were not happy with cutting their summer short. It was to my son's benefit. It has been wonderful for him in all aspects; academically, socially and safety. He goes on to High School in September confident that WCCS gave him a firm foundation for a strong future. No regrets on being on the waiting list. Keep the light burning you just never know when that call will come. My son attends Williamsburg Collegiate Charter School in Brooklyn and he was on a waiting list.

I am very impressed to hear that Coney Island Preps lottery was such a huge success and ran so smoothly. I wish the school continued success. Need a math teacher? :) WOW!
