From Decatur Patch
Decatur's newest school is close to being ready for the Aug. 2 start of the school year.
The 4/5 Academy at Fifth Avenue is the first new school built in Decatur since Renfroe Middle School in 1972. It will serve fourth and fifth graders from throughout the city's school system.
The new building replaces the old Fifth Avenue Elementary, which sat empty for the past few years.
The Academy will be part of the International Baccalaureate Program, which offers a curriculum that is seen a much more rigorous than those offerd by most public schools.
The official ribbon-cutting will be held on Sunday, July 31, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. The public can tour the building during that time.
