The REACH! Partnership School is a public charter high school located in the northeast area known as Clifton Park of Baltimore, Maryland. REACH! is operated by Civic Works, a Baltimore nonprofit affiliated with the AmeriCorps program. [2]

The school shared the campus of the former Lake Clifton Eastern High School campus with Heritage High School from 2010 until the closure of the latter after the 2014–2015 school year. [3]

For the 2019–2020 school year, as part of Baltimore City's 21st Century Schools initiative, REACH! was scheduled to relocate to the nearby Fairmount-Harford building, at 2555 Harford Road, previously occupied by the defunct Harbor City High School. [4] The school's new location was originally built to serve as Clifton Park Junior High in 1924. [5]
