Boston middle school building is being converted to new home for science and math program
From The Boston Globe: As part of a district overhaul in the Boston school district, the Solomon Lewenberg Middle School will be replaced in the fall by the Young Achievers Science and Mathematics Pilot K-8 School, an academic powerhouse that needs a larger building to absorb a waiting list of students. In the mid-1980s, Lewenberg became one of the city's best schools. But it ultimately slid back into decline as busing patterns, school leadership, and education policy changed.
