A Rocky Road
Cambridgeport started as a single kindergarten class in 1990, when enrollment across the district was increasing, and has grown by one grade level each year.
Initially Cambridgeport had room to grow. In 1991, only 40 students occupied the first floor of Blessed Sacrament. But the situation became critical three or four years ago.
About that time--in June 1997--the school committee voted to move Cambridgeport in with the Maynard school, though the two schools would maintain separate in identity and administration.
