Housed in a commercial building, the Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem is a small school where space is limited, children must navigate through cramped hallways and stairwells, and class size is large because rooms are few. Despite these drawbacks, Principal Karen Jones presides over a school where test scores are improving and children are coming to understand the importance of their education. In 2005, 60% of the 4th grade and 94% of the 5th grade passed the state ELA exam.
