Jackson Heights could become home to a new charter high school, if an application submitted to the Department of Education is approved — and if the school can find a suitable location.

The Renaissance Charter High School for Innovation would house approximately 500 students in grades nine through 12 and would be located either in District 30 or District 24.

Daniel Dromm, a longtime Jackson Heights teacher and candidate for City Council, said teachers and parents are very involved in decision-making at Renaissance, which is a plus.

“What works with students is what we have going on with students at Renaissance,” he said, calling the institution “a model for charter schools.”
