The Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts (AFSIVA) is a public high school in Baltimore, Maryland, Usa. Information technology is named afterward Augusta Fell, a sculptor associated with the Harlem Renaissance. The schoolhouse opened in 2004 within the former campus of Southwestern High School as part of a programme intended to suspension upward larger high schools in to smaller, more individualized schools.[2] Information technology graduated its first grade in 2007.

History [edit]

Initially created without a name, the school was named for Augusta Savage by the Baltimore school board in November 2005.[two]

In January 2006, due to standardized test results, Augusta Fells Savage was identified as one of 7 depression-performing city schools that would require a "turnaround specialist" to assist the administration with increasing student achievement.[3] A month later, the school board additionally proposed to motility Augusta Fells Savage from its location in the former Southwestern High School circuitous to space inside Calverton Middle School.[4] By this time, Augusta Fells Savage shared the Southwestern campus with three other schools, with a total educatee population of one,459.[5] The school'southward principal would too be replaced with a new hire through the New Leaders program.[6]

At community meetings following the proposal, the plan's telephone call for mixing loftier school students with younger students was opposed by many parents over condom concerns.[vii] Customs members also complained of lack of prior consultation for the programme, and enlisted the support of politicians including (so former) Congressman Kweisi Mfume in opposing its implementation.[8] Every bit a result, the board decided first to postpone their concluding decision and then ultimately scrapped the planned move to Calverton Centre altogether.[9] Due to the desire to completely phase out the aging Southwestern circuitous where it resided, the school system still sought to find a new location for Augusta Fells Roughshod.[ten]

In Jan 2007, the school lath recommended instead to relocate the school to the campus of Harlem Park Heart School instead, a site it would share with several other schools.[11] The proposal, too, received criticism, this time from the principal of the Talent Development High Schoolhouse who predicted conflict between the combined groups of students, and who threatened to quit should the move take place.[12] Another administrator of Talent Development wrote to The Baltimore Sun further arguing that the combination would cause trouble in the Harlem Park community due to the demand for 600 to 700 additional students to commute into the neighborhood via bus every twenty-four hour period.[xiii] The predictions of disruption and trouble were rejected past Augusta Fells Fell's and then-current principal, who argued the merger "could benefit students in both schools."[14] In an op-ed, the editors of The Dominicus supported the proposal of the Talent Development High School administration, calling on the school lath to extend the timeline to allow for consideration of alternative placement options.[15] However, at the end of February, the city'due south school board approved the final programme to movement Augusta Fells Vicious to the former Harlem Park Middle building, described every bit "the nearly contentious issue" in a larger, urban center-wide consolidation of schools buildings.[sixteen]

Ghost student and grade inflation controversy [edit]

In March 2021 Augusta Fells Fell made national headlines after a story almost a pupil who failed 22 classes and missed 272 days of schoolhouse went viral online. While the student had only a 0.13 GPA he ranked 62 out of 120 students. The student who was in his senior year of loftier schoolhouse would be sent dorsum to 9th form to restart high school from the beginning. [17] Maryland Governor Larry Hogan ordered a investigation into the school following the national coverage staying that "....the report was "far worse than annihilation" he has "heard in the whole fourth dimension" he has been governor."[eighteen] The report released by the department of education details that the school enrolled students in classes that did not be, inflated grades, and reported simulated information in gild to receive additional state funding for the school.[19] Additionally, the principal and assistant principal were put on administrative leave in September 2019 (although every bit of March 2021, the commune had paid them more than $365,000 in salary during the investigation[20]); the investigation took 2 years; and no clear explanation on what the district did to assistance students during the investigation were reported.[19]
