What is Economicology?

Economicology is the combination of economics and ecology; it is a fundamental basis for achieving sustainability.
It is sustainable education framed through the six E’s of Economicology - Economics, Environment, Ecology, Ethics, Empathy, and Education.  Economicology states that ‘we need to teach people, especially the young, how to use our resources’.

What is International Baccalaureate?
The International Baccalaureate® (IB) is a non-profit educational foundation, motivated by its mission, focused on the student.

City achieved a Silver Medal from U.S. News and World Report Magazine!

For the third consecutive year, City High Middle School made the U.S. News & World Report list of America’s Top 300 High Schools. This year, City jumped into the Top 200 category and earned a Silver Award, whereas the past two years City earned a Bronze Award.

The rankings were based on data from the 2007-2008 school year and methodology developed by School Evaluation Services, a K-12 education data research business run by Standard & Poor's. A three-step process determined the best high schools. The first two steps ensured that the schools serve all their students well, using state proficiency standards as the measuring benchmarks. For those schools that made it past the first two steps, a third step assessed the degree to which schools prepare students for college-level work.
