K-8 Schools

Email this page to a friend

The district has been responsive to families' desires for more programs in Boston that span kindergarten through grade 8, particularly to provide educational continuity throughout the elementary and middle grades.

In 1995, there were only 3 K-8 programs in the city.  By September 2009, there will be 27 K-8 programs, located in 12 Boston neighborhoods.
