Worthington Hooker School
Worthington Hooker School is a neighborhood school in the East Rock neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut. It is part of the New Haven public school system. The school is named after former Yale University professor and physician Dr. Worthington Hooker (1806–1867). The school serves students from kindergarten through eighth grade in two separate buildings, an elementary school (K-2) and a middle school (3-8).
The student body of around 400 students (c. 2008) includes a very high percentage of children of Yale University professor's students, and as such, is much more multi-cultural than other New Haven public schools. The school also reports the highest achievement of the city's K-8 public schools.〔Melissa Bailey, (Still “The Site We Want” ), ''The New Haven Independent'', June 28, 2006〕
The original school building at 180 Canner Street, which now houses the lower school, was erected in 1900. It currently houses kindergarten through grade 2. As this school building was not large enough to hold all nine grades, grades 3-8 were formerly located in the former Saint Stanislaus School building at 804 State Street. As of summer 2007, renovations of the main school building had been completed 〔(Worthington Hooker School Renovation ), New Haven City Schools Construction website〕〔Vincent Vitkowsky, (A Showpiece Reopens, $12.9M Spiffier ), ''The New Haven Independent'', April 30, 2007〕 and efforts were under way to build a new school building for the middle school on nearby Whitney Avenue.〔(New Worthington Hooker School ), New Haven City Schools Construction website〕 Planned construction of the new middle school was delayed for several years due to opposition by neighbors who objected to the use of "spot zoning" to allow construction of a school in a residential neighborhood and sued to block the project. An August 2007 unanimous decision by the Connecticut Supreme Court allowed the project to proceed, based on a finding that the city had not abused its zoning authority.〔Melissa Bailey, (State Supreme Court OKs Hooker School ), ''The New Haven Independent'', August 6, 2007〕 The new middle school building for grades 3 through 8 was completed in 2009 at a cost of $36.5 million and officially opened on December 21, 2009.〔Thomas MacMillan, (Kids Walk To School; No Calamities Reported ), ''New Haven Independent'', December 21, 2009〕
The 180 Canner Street building is a contributing property in the Whitney Avenue Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.〔 and (32 accompanying photos from 1988 ) (captions pages 60-62 of text document).
