There are three high schools: North High School, with an alternative program, Community School; South High School; and The Village School, a small alternative high school. There are also two middle schools, four elementary schools, and a nursery school.
Declining student population through the 1970s and 1980s[1] resulted in a reduction in the number of operating elementary schools from eleven in 1954 to only four today.[3] [4]The previously operational schools included:
