About Central Avenue Elementary School
Enrichment Program at Central Avenue Elementary
Right At School at Central Avenue Elementary provides an on-site enrichment program designed for students in the Franklin Pierce School District. The curriculum focuses on "Disguised Learning," where children participate in hands-on STEM activities, creative arts, and fitness through play. By utilizing the school's own gymnasium and outdoor playground, the program offers a seamless transition from the classroom to care in a familiar and active environment. Designed with working families in mind, the program offers both recurring care and flexible daily drop-in options. Students are provided with homework assistance and afternoon snacks in a social setting that prioritizes movement and discovery. While part of a larger national organization, the program aims to create a local community feel where students can engage in structured physical activity and academic support after the school day ends.

Parent Reputation
Overall reputation for this specific location is limited due to a lack of individual site-specific parent reviews on major platforms. General sentiment for the Right At School organization is mixed, with some parents praising the convenience and friendly local staff while others report frustrations with national billing platforms and inconsistent communication. The program is widely recognized as a primary partner for the Franklin Pierce School District, providing on-site enrichment.
Staff Insights
Employee reviews for the regional organization reflect high turnover rates and a perceived lack of support from upper management. While staff members frequently report that working with children is the most rewarding aspect of the job, they often cite low pay, disorganized management, and inconsistent training as significant challenges. No site-specific reviews for the Central Avenue staff were found to confirm local turnover rates.
