SCARBOROUGH – Scarborough schools are growing, and due to the shifts in housing developments and incoming kindergarten numbers, the class sizes at the the primary schools in Scarborough have had some shifts.
In order to maintain equitable class sizes at all three schools – Blue Point, Pleasant Hill and Eight Corners – some neighborhoods will be changed from Eight Corners School to Pleasant Hill School. According to Superintendent George Entwistle, this change will be gradual, and will involve only newly enrolling students in kindergarten.
According to a press release from the superintendent, first- and second-graders will be changed based on home address. All students currently enrolled in school and attending Eight Corners will be able to complete their primary phase at Eight Corners.
The areas being impacted are: Black Point Road, County Road and the Coach Lantern/Old Mill Brook neighborhoods. For a complete list of streets impacted, contact the Scarborough School Department at 730-4100.
