Little Village Lawndale High School Campus "In the predominantly Mexican immigrant community of Little Village, on Chicago's south side, a two-year battle for a new high school culminated in a nineteen-day hunger strike by parents that led to creation of Little Village High School. The school is now the pride of Chicago's school system. It is a campus made up of four small schools, each with its own faculty, student cohort, a curricular focus, and a high degree of autonomy."  Michael Klonsky and Susan Klonsky, Small Schools: Public School Reform Meets The Ownership Society, Routledge, 2008, p. 176. http://www.lvlhs.org/apps/links/ Julia Richman Educational Complex  in New York City is comprised of 6 autonomous schools which “provide opportunities for students and faculty to know one another, work together, and feel the pride and ownership that support academic achievement.” http://www.jrec.org/autonomous.html Kapa'a Elementary School, State of Hawai’i http://www.kapaa.k12.hi.us/aboutkes.html, and Schools-within-a-School: The Kapa'a Elementary School Model This ERIC document “describes the successful schools-within-a-school (SWS) program implemented at Kapa'a Elementary School in Hawaii in 1989.”
