Marblehead's Schools |
Schools and School Reports Whether
you have school age children or not, you can tell a lot about a community’s spirit and character by the quality of its schools.
Public Schools: We have two K-2 elementary schools, three K-4 schools, the Middle School
with grades 5-8, and a four-year high school. In addition, there is a public charter school with grades 5-8. |
| More than 85% of our high school seniors go on to college. In addition to a strong curriculum, Marblehead High School offers a broad
variety of extracurricular activities including a strong sports program and Jefferson Forum, a community service organization. A
new, state of the art high school completed construction and opened in Sept 2003. |

Former High School

In the second phase of school facilities re-development Marblehead Middle School will
be split in two. The former high school began conversion construction in 2003 to become a new Upper Middle School to house grades 7
and 8. |
| The current Marblehead Middle School houses grades 5-8 and was honored by the U.S. Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School
of Excellence 1995-1998. In phase three of the facilities plan, the Middle School building will undergo renovation to better
house grades 4-6. |

| The town has two private schools: Hillel Academyl (kindergarten through grade 8) and Tower School (pre-kindergarten
through grade 9). Marblehead belongs to the North Shore Vocational High School area. North Shore Community College has campuses
nearby.
Salem State College is located immediately across the town line and Endicott College and Gordon College are both a short ride
away. There is easy access to the many fine colleges and universities in Boston and in Cambridge.
Interestingly, Marblehead was considered as a potential site for Harvard University. Unfortunately, the founders chose that
other town!
Marblehead also has a variety of private nursery schools and after school programs. |
