Total enrollment figures for the past five-year period are: 1952, 12,910; 1953, 13,475; 1954, 14,473; 1955, 14,726; and 1956, 14,886. The enrollment, exclusive of the kindergarten which started in 1954 and had an enrollment of 1,346 in 1956, actually had increased but slightly over 600 pupils in five years.
Meanwhile the cost of public education in Quincy has increased substantially over the same period. In 1952 the City Council appropriated for schools $3,004,099.96 as compared with $4,004,900. in 1956.
The year 1956 found Quincy in the final phase of its ten million dollar school expansion program which began in 1948 and will wind up in 1958 when the Atlantic Junior High School is scheduled for occupancy. The Broad Meadows Junior High School was well advanced in construction at the end of 1956; the Great Hill School and second Snug Harbor school addition were completed and occupied during the year. In November the contract was let for the six-room Myles Standish elementary school
In the Fall of 1956, Quincy Schools inaugurated instruction at the college level, with three classes in history and English. There were 33 registrations in the classes which were held twice a week at nights in Quincy High School.
During 1956 a cerebral palsy class was established. Quincy was the only public school system in Massachusetts to maintain such instruction.
A testing program for mentally retarded children was continued during the year; and two new special classes were set up.
Quincy graduates received $33,625 in scholarship aid during the year.
Approximately 13,000 tuberculosis skin tests were given in a program sponsored jointly by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Health Education Department of the school system.
Quincy schools were selected by the Massachusetts Department of Education to serve as host to the Brazilian teacher, Mrs. Ruth Marques Da Cunha, who was in this country under the federal foreign ex- change plan. She spent a month visiting schools and attending community programs.
