School Description 

The Higginson-Lewis K-8 School is located in the Roxbury section of Boston. The school is easily accessible by public transportation. The school consists of the former Henry L. Higginson and George A. Lewis Schools, which merged in September 2009 to become the Higginson-Lewis K-8 School. The schoolyard was landscaped, some classrooms painted and storage space was built for students. The parents, teachers, and students take pride in the appearance of the school and have maintained a safe and comfortable working environment and play area.
