Two new neighborhood based magnet elementary schools were built to better serve downtown residents and help attract new residents to downtown and close in neighborhoods. Local private donors contributed one-half of the construction dollars. The children of downtown employees are also able to attend these new schools that were funded equally by public and private dollars.
Both schools have close affiliations with the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC). Both have before and after-school care as well as preschool components. One school is located adjacent to UTC at 8th and Baldwin Streets and the other is at Market and Main Streets in the rapidly developing Southside area. Both schools opened in August 2002.
