The school began: as a community based school and continues as a <br /> strong community based school. The walk zone is large and the school participates in annual events to <br /> support walking: and biking to school. Classes frequently take walking field trips to local businesses <br /> and surrounding: parks and natural areas. <br /> CES takes pride in our exceptional school community and offers a number of distinctive features and <br /> programs including experiential learning, a Dual language program, and a focus on developmentally <br /> appropriate practices of educating the whole child. The Dual Language program is an English-Spanish <br /> immersion program with the goal of bilingual/biliteracy and multiculturalism by the time students exit <br /> elementary school. The program is fully implemented with two to three classes at each grade level <br /> PreK-6. Current Kindergartners are entering the program through a magnet model. <br /> CES uses project based learning which integrates,content through units of study and experiential <br /> learning. Many of our students lack background knowledge and experiences to support and connect <br /> learning. Thus, this approach supports,the learning of these targeted groups while supporting all <br /> students in a school:,experience that is integrated and more student centered. Each grade level; has <br /> developed four to six units of study that culminate with a student developed project. The ultimate goal <br /> for each child is to participate in learning that is authentic and engaging. <br /> In 2013-2014, Carrboro Elementary School served approximately 513 students PreK-5(48 in PreK) <br /> with the demographics as below for grades K-5. <br /> Subgroup Number % of school population <br /> Total 465 100% <br /> White 263 57% <br /> -i�lac 37 8% <br /> Hispanic 139 30% <br /> Asian 8 2% <br /> Multi Racial 13, 3% <br /> ESL 7'9 17% <br /> EC 46 1,0%, <br /> AIG 47 1.0% <br /> EDS 125 33.5% <br /> Male 230 49% <br /> Female 235 51% <br /> III.
