Crawford Elementary School, which was previously the site of the YMCPAFormer Young Men's College Preparatory Academy campus at E.O. Smith
The school opened in August, 2011 for the 6th and 9th grades, and would gradually become a middle and high school. It first opened in the E.O. Smith Education Center campus in the Fifth Ward. The district modeled the school off of the Chicago Urban Prep Academy in Chicago. The school has admission requirements.[1] It later moved to the former Crawford Elementary School,[2][3][4] in both the Fifth Ward and in Northside.[5]
Some Fifth Ward community members expressed disappointment that the previous E.O. Smith students would be displaced by the opening of the new magnet school.[1]
The HISD board approved the renaming of the school to Leland College Preparatory Academy in 2014.[6]
HISD plans to build the permanent Leland school on the site of the former Carter Career Center, which once served as Wheatley High School and E.O. Smith. The new building will look similar to the original one.[7]
