ISBN 131780144X, 9781317801443. p. (175 ).〕 New Heights Academy Charter School was founded in 2006 to provide a college preparatory education in a safe and nurturing environment to students in grades 5-12 living in Harlem, Washington Heights and Inwood. Washington Heights in particular was lacking in high school options for students entering 9th grade, so the opening of New Heights provided these students with the opportunity to attend high school in their own neighborhood. New Heights embodies the PRIDE pillars of Perseverance, Responsibility, Integrity, Discipline and Enthusiasm. The mission of New Heights Academy Charter School is to graduate students who are prepared to succeed in college and life. As of 2011 it was the largest charter school in New York City.〔 == History == New Heights Academy received its initial charter in 2005. Committed to locating the school in District 6 where the majority of students and their families live, the founding team delayed opening the school for one year until space was found for the school in District 6. In 2006 New Heights Academy opened its doors in a landmarked former ribbon factory, 'Fair and Square' Ribbons manufactured by Joseph Loth & Co., to 192 fifth and ninth graders. Each year New Heights Academy added an additional grade in both middle school and high school, reaching full enrollment of 750 students in 2009. In June 2010, New Heights holds its inaugural high school graduation. Every year at New Heights Academy the high school graduation rate has far exceeded the city graduation rate.
