Julia Richman Education Complex
The Julia Richman Education Complex (JREC) is an educational multiplex located in the Upper East Side neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA. It houses six autonomous small schools for approximately 1,800 Pre-K through 12th grade students in the former Julia Richman High School building. The schools are operated by the New York City Department of Education.
==History==
The facility was built in 1923 as an all-girls commercial high school, Julia Richman High School (JRHS). By 1990 the NYC Board of Education identified JRHS as having the worst statistics of student achievement in Manhattan. The local police precinct referred to the crime-infested school as “Julia Rikers,” known for its violence and vandalism. Metal detectors were installed and metal cages were used to isolate students with disciplinary problems.〔(''New York Times, Small Schools Show Concern Over Proposal to Swap Land'', June 28, 2006 ), retrieved 2012-04-11〕 Only thirty-seven percent of its enrollees graduated.〔(JREC petition webpage ), retrieved 2012-04-11〕
The school closed to entering freshmen in 1993 who were given the opportunity to attend one of six new small schools located outside the school building. With money provided in part by the entities such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,〔(''High Schools on a Human Scale: How Small Schools Can Transform American Education'', online review in Children, Youth and Environments Vol. 17 No. 2 (2007) ), retrieved 2011-04-11〕 the building was redesigned from a single school into a multi-age, multi-service learning community with six autonomous, public, Small Schools. The new schools that formed the new Julia Richman Education Complex were "hothoused" in temporary buildings elsewhere.〔( New York Times, ''Big Schools Reborn in Small World'', Nov 28, 2003 ), retrieved 2012-04-11〕 The $30 million renovation in 1993–95 restored the exterior of the building, provided separate spaces for each of the small schools, yet maintained many of the traditional features of the building.〔(Place Matters, ''Restored school building now successfully housing six small schools'', February 2007 ), retrieved 2012-04-09〕〔(Edutopia ''Phoenix Rising: A New School Design Fosters New Attitudes Toward Learning'', 2/8/2005 ), retrieved 2012-04-09〕 It opened its doors to four new schools in 1995. In 1996 the last class of the former JRHS, which had stayed in the building throughout the restructuring, graduated.〔( Small Schools Project ), retrieved 2012-04-09〕
