ABOUT ENHANCED OPTION SCHOOLS
 Enhanced option schools offer class sizes with a 15:1 child, teacher ratio and 45 minutes added to each school day. Enhanced option schools also include Pre-K programs, social services, an Encore teacher for gifted and talented students, and after school care. The teachers receive additional training in reading and mathematics. The curriculum has a strong emphasis on ensuring success for all students. Core academic areas include reading, writing, mathematics, social studies and science. Related arts courses are the same as in other elementary schools.
MNPS has nine Enhanced Options Schools; two are available through the Fall Application: Caldwell Elementary and Fall Hamilton Elementary. Students living in the school zone or designated areas have first choice at enrolling in these schools. Students living outside the designated areas must apply through the Fall Application and go on a wait list for space available.
