Framingham Takes Big Step Toward Building A New Elementary School
Plans for a modern school on Bethany Road could bring new learning opportunities, expanded preschool access and shorter rides for families.
FRAMINGHAM, MA — Big things could be on the horizon for Framingham's youngest learners. The city has selected its Bethany Road property as the preferred site for a new elementary school that would replace the aging Hemenway Elementary School.
The proposed Pre-K through fifth-grade school could accommodate approximately 985 students and expand preschool opportunities for 4-year-olds.
City officials hope the project will also reduce long bus rides by bringing classrooms closer to where more families live. The project is still in the planning stages, with additional design, funding and community approvals ahead.
