About NCS

NCS is a K - 5 public elementary school serving approximately 360 students. It is located in the historic Slaton Elementary School building on Grant Street in the neighborhood of Grant Park, near downtown Atlanta. Built in 1906, this beautiful building is one of the oldest in the Atlanta Public Schools' system. There is no tuition and no entrance criteria, other than the student living within the NCS attendance zone. The primary attendance zone for NCS encompasses the neighborhoods of Grant Park, Ormewood Park, and North Ormewood Park. If space is available, students living elsewhere within the NPU-W (e.g., Woodland Hills, East Atlanta, Boulevard Heights, Benteen, and McDonough/Guice) will be eligible to attend. These in-town neighborhoods reflect diversity in ethnic and racial backgrounds, economic status, and family structure.

NCS is a legal non-profit organization (501 (c) 3). As such it is governed by a Governing Board. The board consists of parents, teachers, and community members.
