Schenectady C.S.D. moving freshmen to new academy

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – Changes are on the horizon for school children in Schenectady. The Schenectady City School District announced plans to move one grade to its own academy, in a move meant to boost high school graduation rates.

Most freshmen will no longer attend Schenectady High School. They will be relocated 2.5 miles away. The old Steinmetz Educational Center, at 880 Oakwood Avenue, is currently under construction and is being renovated for the new educational space – The Steinmetz Freshman Leadership Academy.
