During the 2004–2005 school year, twelve-year-old Jerome Nelson joins the inaugural sixth-grade class at César Chávez Charter Academy in East Durham.
As a new school finds its footing, Jerome and the people around him navigate family employment and housing pressures, neighborhood change, rumors, debt and the weight of a nickname. The First Class follows the students, families and school community at the beginning of their shared story.
