Welcome, families and scholars!

Dana Ave. serves 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. We offer a safe school with a rigorous curriculum delivered by a dedicated group of caring teachers designed to prepare our students for the demands of high school and college.

In addition to core classes, Dana Ave. scholars participate in advisory classes, electives, and enrichment periods. We are excited to partner with our families and scholars to ensure their children are on the path to college.
