Eliot School gets room to expand
By adamg on Mon, 05/14/2012 - 10:16pm
Mayor Menino today announced a building swap with the North Bennet Street School that could let the Eliot K-8 School double in size.
North Bennet Street will pay the city $11.4 million for 150 North St. and 130-140 Richmond St. and will give the city its current buildings at 37-39 North Bennet St. and 48-52 Tileston St.
The Eliot currently has 322 students and a waiting list of 295. The city will hold a meeting on May 22 to discuss possible renovation plans over the next few years for the new buildings, starting at 6 p.m. at the current Eliot School.

Eliot was not a highly regarded school a few years back. The thing that turned it around was the Young Professionals who did not want to move to the suburbs started sending their kids there.
These parents are highly involved with the school to make sure their kids are getting the education they need. The same thing is underway in JP and South Boston.
