16% at Pelham Elementary School

27% at Pelham Memorial School

20% at Pelham High School

Therefore, the most cost-effective solution is a Four School concept:

 

 

Elementary School – grades 1-4

Upper Elementary School – grades 5 & 6

Junior High School – grades 7 & 8

High School – grades 9-12
