School Organization Four elementary schools cover the subsections of the district. The four are merged into the sole middle school.
Formerly General Wayne Middle School, a recent growth in the school district's population motivated the need for the new Great Valley Middle School to be built for the larger student body. After the new school was complete, General Wayne was closed for repairs and turned into a fourth elementary school. Sugartown Elementary students temporarily used this new building to allow for Sugartown's own renovation. Upon completion, the district had four functioning elementary schools that now feed into Great Valley Middle.
The high school also underwent a 4-year renovation that was completed during the 2006/2007 school year.
Redistricted After Sugartown's elementary renovation, redistricting was required for Sugartown to reopen. This process was started in June 2004 and implemented before the 2006-2007 school year. [24][25][26]. Some students throughout the school district were moved into Sugartown, from either KDM, General Wayne, or Charlestown. [27]
