Northeast Academy

Located at Kelley Ave and NE 30th, Northeast Academy is a charter school occupying a historic building built in 1934 that is targeted for $7 mil renovations in the MAPS for Kids plan. The renovations are to give the school an overhaul and increase its capacity to 750 students.

Douglass High School

* Note, whoever's job it is to put the MAPS for Kids info up on the web needs to be shot, and someone with a camera and organization skills needs to take their place. The new Douglass is a beautiful school, but no photos online to show for it.

The first of OKC's new MAPS high schools to open was Douglass, located off of MLK Blvd and NE 10th. The high school, which was established in the late 1800s in NE OKC, covers the downtown area in its district today and has been completely rebuilt and reopened in 2005. For $32 mil, the Douglass accommodates 1,200 students, has 81 classrooms, features a cafeteria, media center, 1,800-seat gym, and a theater/auditorium center. It also has a brand-new football stadium finished in 2006.
