Early childhood

In early 2016, the district announced that during the 2017–18 school year they would move all 6th grade students from the middle schools to their respective elementary schools. This allowed more space for the Middle Schools to expand and be able to teach more subjects with more space and a smaller teacher to student ratio.[ citation needed ]
