Recruitment
​
MECS will provide outreach, time, and information to parents of the ~40,400 economically disadvantaged high school students whose names were not drawn
for a seat in the April 1 or May 1 Charter School Lotteries and are placed on a waiting list to be contacted as seats become available, to ensure parents can exercise a meaningful choice of direct student services for their child’s education, and allowing parents — rather than the government — to choose the best educational setting for their children.
​
There are 281 public charter schools operating in the five boroughs of New York City with nearly 23,600 available charter school seats. These public schools educate an estimated 149,000 students, representing about 15% of public school students, of which 89% are Black/African American or Hispanic. New York’s public charter schools are serving primarily low-income NYC families
(82% are economically disadvantaged).
Parents should consider applying for an
Education Opportunity Scholarship for your child to attend
MInority Enterprise Career Schools (MECS) Academy,
a new Career and Technical Education (CTE) high school
with year-round open enrollment.

U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos released the following statement on the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in the
Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue case:
“Today’s decision is a historic victory for America’s students and all those who believe in fundamental fairness and freedom. Each and every student needs the freedom to find their education fit, and today the Highest Court in the Land has protected that right by ensuring that families can use taxpayer funds to choose schools that match their values and educational goals, including faith-based schools. …”
Students take a Motivational Appraisal of Personal Potential (MAPP) Test.
This assessment test is the fastest way to identify students’ career direction,
learning style and motivation.
