Arlington Public Schools (MA)
The vision of the Arlington Public Schools is to be an equitable educational community where all learners feel a sense of belonging, experience growth and joy, and are empowered to shape their own futures and contribute to a better world. Arlington is a community with a rich history. Once known as Menotomy, it was the site of the bloodiest fighting on the first day of the American Revolution, April 19, 1775. The town was incorporated as West Cambridge in 1807, when it was set aside from Cambridge and a portion of the former town of Charlestown. The town was renamed Arlington in 1867, to honor those buried in Arlington National Cemetery. In the nineteenth century, Arlington was primarily an agricultural community, with a thriving ice industry centered around Spy Pond and mills located along Mill Brook. Schools: 1 pre-school; 7 elementary (K-5) schools; 1 grade 6 school; 1 middle school (7-8); 1 high school.
