IRS990/Desc0WBCS BEGAN OPERATIONS IN AUGUST 2012 OFFERING GRADES K-2 WITH PLANS TO EXPAND TO GRADE 4 BY THE 2014-15 SCHOOL YEAR WHICH IT DID. THE ORIGINAL CHARTER ALLOWED FOR A K-4 SCHOOL WITH TOTAL ENROLLMENT OF 300 STUDENTS. BY THE END OF ITS THIRD YEAR, WBCS HAD PROVEN ITSELF AS ONE OF THE HIGHEST PERFORMING SCHOOLS IN BUFFALO AND ONE OF THE MOST ETHNICALLY AND RACIALLY DIVERSE. DUE TO ITS ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND LIMITED OPTIONS FOR ITS OUTGOING FOURTH GRADERS, WBCS APPLIED FOR A MATERIAL REVISION TO ITS CHARTER SO THAT IT COULD EXPAND ITS PROGRAM TO INCLUDE MIDDLE SCHOOL. IN DECEMBER 2016 THE NYS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT APPROVED THAT REQUEST AND WBCS IMMEDIATELY STARTED ITS PROGRAM AND FACILITY EXPANSION. THIS WAS A TWO-PHASED APPROACH WHICH ADDED A 13,000 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION AND GRADES 5TH AND 6TH GRADES BY JUNE 2017. THIS PROJECT WAS FULLY FUNDED BY WBCS OPERATIONS AND NO ADDITIONAL DEBT WAS INCURRED. IN JULY 2017, WBCS CLOSED ON A $10 MILLION LOAN TO FINANCE THE SECOND PHASE OF THE EXPANSION. THIS PHASE TOTALED 31,000 SQUARE FEET AND INCLUDED A GYMNASIUM, NEW ADMINISTRATIVE SPACES AND NINE NEW CLASSROOMS. WBCS WILL BE FULLY EXPANDED TO GRADE 8 FOR THE 2019-20 SCHOOL YEAR AND WILL BE FULLY ENROLLED WITH 500 STUDENTS. WBCS CONTINUES TO ENROLL ALMOST 90% ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS, 30% LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENT STUDENTS AND 15% TO 20% STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES. WBCS CONTINUES TO PLACE IN THE TOP 10% OF ALL SCHOOLS IN BUFFALO, DISTRICT AND CHARTER.
