I would argue it is largely due to the efforts of Susan Szachowicz

If you ask me she could probably walk into Worcester and be the superintendent..maybe Boston. I'd put up that high school against any other gateway cities and it will really stand up. It might not sound impressive to meet standards but when you look at the demographics..


Meanwhile Boston's district is losing students at a fast rate.

1980 67,954
1990 60,543

If the drop continues we'd see that shrink to be the 2nd largest district in the state in a few generations. It looked like it paused but the decline is getting faster. Fewer have kids especially in south boston.
