Originally a 5th through 8th grade middle school, TEP now also serves students in Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and will soon be adding Pre-K and 4th grade. TEP will serve 1200 students at full capacity, from Pre-K through 8th grade. Located in the NYC neighborhood of Washington Heights, TEP is succeeding in closing the Latino-White achievement gap. TEP's mission is to achieve educational equity for disadvantaged students by utilizing master teachers to provide rigorous academics, arts, and athletics instruction. TEP reallocates the public funding it receives as a charter school to pay its teaching professionals an annual salary of $125,000, with the opportunity to earn a significant performance bonus.As reported in the Wall Street Journal, a rigorous long-term study found that TEP produced major achievement impacts, including test score gains equal to an additional 1.6 years of school in math, with significant gains in science and English.
