Overview
Cobblestone was a small school, numbering around 60 students in grades Pre-K thru 6. It was located on Prince Street in the former Sacred Heart Academy school building. Nearby is SOTA, a public high school that has an emphasis on the arts, and many of the students continue on to this school after graduating.
History
Cobblestone School was founded in 1983, teaching children between ages 4½ and 12 years in grades pre-kindergarten through six. In 1999, grades seven and eight were added, but then in the 2010-2011 school year grades seven and eight were phased out due to low enrollment.
In 2015, Cobblestone School closed due to lack of funding.
Grades and classes
The school was divided into four age groups. Within each group, sequential grade levels are combined in the same classroom. Each student stays in the same classroom (typically with the same teacher) for two consecutive years before moving on.
Classes are small. The student-teacher ratio is 12:1 in the lower levels and 15:1 in the upper levels.
Evaluation of students
Cobblestone did not administer standardized tests or grades. Instead, teachers kept a portfolio for each student to monitor and record the student's individual development.
