We have a modified block schedule called the Hybrid Schedule (both double and single period classes) with five (5) lunch periods. There are a total of eight (8) periods in the regular schedule, plus a zero period which is offered at the beginning of the school day to assist seniors, juniors, and sophomores in taking needed AP courses. Single class periods convene for 45 minutes; whereas, double class periods convene for 95 minutes. This flexibility raises the academic bar and encourages academic achievement as shown in the school’s consistently high Parcc and AP scores.
Eleanor Roosevelt H.S. offers a wide variety of courses that help students enter the college, career, or military branch of their choice. The school is organized into the academy programs and academic departments listed below.
