North Side Community School is a free, local public charter school serving North City neighborhoods, working to improve each student’s opportunities in education and in life by developing the skills, knowledge, and personal qualities necessary for success.
The Early Childhood Center (ECC) provides full-day Pre-K and Kindergarten classes so our youngest children have a head start in life.
Our elementary program focuses on mastering the basics while nurturing curiosity, creativity, and confidence.
Our middle school serves students in grades 6–8, offering small classes, personalized attention, and an extended school day.
At North Side, we believe every child can do amazing things! With our JUSTICE framework, teachers and administrators team up to create a positive, high-expectations environment where character and learning go hand in hand.
With only about 15 students per teacher – and extra support from teaching assistants and tutors – we make sure every child is known, supported, and celebrated.
Reading, writing, and math are the building blocks of learning. We practice these every day so students can grow confident and proud of their progress.
Every student gets free breakfast and lunch, plus access to health and wellness support. Thanks to our community partners and dedicated staff, kids can focus on learning while knowing their needs are taken care of.
There are no academic or financial barriers to join our North Side family. Nearly 500 students learn and grow together on our three campuses.

I used to give up on myself if I didn't do right. Northside has taught me it is okay to make mistakes.
