The Two Uptown High Schools Have Too Many Students

According to provincial measurements, there are too many students attending Saint John High and St. Malachy's. 

The Superintendent of School District 8 Micheal Butler tells CHSJ News it will take a couple of years to be in compliance as enrollment continues to decline.There's a waiting list of more than 80 students for the two uptown high schools. 

Butler warns down the road, with those declining enrollments, a decision will have to be made whether four high schools in the city can be maintained. 

Butler estimates within the next four years there will be a thousand fewer students in our high schools.
