Neighborhood Transformation Zone schools have distinct boundaries with all students living within those boundaries guaranteed admittance. Student admission is determined by the location of his/her residence. Transformation Zone schools provide students with additional time and days for learning each school year. Other students may apply to attend the Neighborhood Transformation Zone schools.
At Pettit Park Elementary, a Neighborhood Transformation Zone Academy, the staff is committed to student growth in both their academic and social-emotional learning.

Teachers also provide students with an understanding of how their brain works, leading to students learning about neuroscience and how it supports their personal development.
