The major objective of the Street Academy Program, funded under Title I of the 1965 Elementary Secondary Education Act, is to help students stay in schools, or to help dropouts return to school or enter the world of work prepared and motivated to adjust and achieve satisfactorily. The Academy services approximately 500 high school students who have dropped out or are about to drop out of Benjamin Franklin School and other high schools in the adjacent local areas. The age range is 16 to 21 years, and the grade range is nine to 12. The Academy also services approximately 300 out-of-school youths from neighboring parochial schools in the East Harlem community. The Academy services students who have been referred by high school guidance staff, student advisors, and social service agencies. Through an extension program, the student advisor services are also available to students at Benjamin Franklin High School. The services of the program fall into one of three categories: East Side Cluster Service, summer enrichment, and educational. The latter is divided into phases. Phase I is essentially oriented toward motivating dropouts who want to continue their education. Phase II is academically structured. The East Side Cluster Program provides assistance to potential dropouts by offering direct counseling when sought, tutorial assistance to students who seek such aid, a recreation program, and a personal counseling and employment service to dropouts.
