Harlem High

12 part Reality Series

Harlem High is a reality series that follows a year in the life of some of New York's poorest kids who escape besieged and violent City schools and get a chance - perhaps their only chance - in an innovative school in Harlem.

This is an extraordinary story of personal transformation, the real gritty, true-life portrayal of school life told like the famed fictionalized BBC series Grange Hill. It captures the lives of these lively, determined kids in and out of the classroom. It blends normal teenage life with the high states end game back on the streets. We'll follow eight freshmen students as they search for the passion and stamina within themselves to beat the odds and succeed.
