Education is vitally important to our
community, and Melrose offers a
superb school system. Please click here to see a letter from
Superintendent Joe Casey.
There
are five neighborhood elementary schools in convenient locations around
the city including the Roosevelt, Lincoln, Winthrop, Hoover, and Horace
Mann. St. Mary's is Melrose's private parochial school that teaches grades
1-8. Miss Helen Blinstrub, principal, says, "Melrose is a
family-oriented, caring community; St. Mary's follows suit." In
addition to these elementary schools, the Ripley School is home to
exceptional early childhood programs. Each school has well-equipped
classrooms with computer access, as
well as an active student council and Parent Teachers Organization
(PTO).
In
addition to these excellent elementary schools, the North
Suburban Family Network offers services of education and support to
families with young children in the community.
Construction is underway for a state-of-the-art
Melrose Veterans’ Memorial
Middle School adjacent to the recently renovated Melrose
High School. The Veterans’ Memorial Middle School was
awarded a Commonwealth of Massachusetts Compass School.
The High School music
program is among the top 100 music programs in the country. The High
School offers five foreign languages and numerous foreign exchange
programs. Melrose High School's curriculum also spans a wide variety of
both academic and vocational subjects. The High School is also undergoing
an extensive renovation to make more rooms available for classes and
projects. In the class of 2006, 96% of students went on to higher
education, the highest percentage in Melrose's history, showing Melrose's
educational progress.
