The Eliot Elementary School is a public, charter school under the Boston Public Innovation Schools, which allows the schools to design the curriculum in a way that allows the students to excel in any way possible. The school approaches education from an "holistic" perspective which allows students to truly feel like their apart of the Boston community.

I chose this elementary schools because it is one of the most acclaimed in South Boston. South End generally has a larger White population and I wanted to see how they would compare to populations with larger ethnic demographics. Because this school is in a setting where there are not as many disadvantages and hardships, it is clear that the students at this level are exposed to an abundance of resources and opportunities which is projected I their success.
