Description

Gwynns Falls is a very diverse community. This neighborhood recently won the Clean Community Competition and has positioned itself as one of the most exciting up-and-coming areas in Baltimore. There has been a big push to revive exciting green spaces in the area and establish new community gardens. Come visit our brand new park on Wellesley Street. Walk down the streets and enjoy well-kept yards and friendly neighbors on their porches. Come join us at one of our monthly community meetings. We meet the first Thursday of every month at 7 PM at the Academy of Success (525 Hurley Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21223)

History

The Gwynns Falls neighborhood was established in 1977, named after the stream on the Eastern border. Prior to that it was known as Carroll Station. Gwynns Falls once belonged to the family of Charles Carroll of Carrollton and was later associated with his granddaughter, Emily MacTavish. The neighborhood once had its own Pennsylvania Railroad station. This commuter train stop was known as Carroll Station. There was also a post office of the same name in the neighborhood.

Educational Resources

From pre-school to high school, Baltimore City’s schools serve students and families across more than 225 neighborhoods. Parents and students have numerous choices from public, private, parochial, and charter schools. Many elementary schools are zoned geographically, but are increasingly becoming schools of choice. All high schools are choice schools and all middle schools are becoming schools of choice in 2010-2011. This means students can apply to attend any school in the City regardless of their home address; some schools do have admission criteria. All charter schools and Transformation Schools have lotteries for admission.

Baltimore offers a wealth of opportunities when it comes to higher education at both the undergraduate, graduate and technical education levels. The seventeen colleges and universities within or near the City enroll more than 120,000 students. Through the Baltimore Collegetown Network, 16 area colleges cooperate and share resources, such as shuttle buses and libraries.
