K-8 Schools

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 three K-8 programs in the city. By September 2009, there will be 28 K-8 programs, located in 13 Boston neighborhoods.

Read about the various K-8 program models.
