Approved Additions and Rebuilds in the Charlottetown Family of Schools
Additions are being added currently to LM Montgomery Elementary and Stratford Elementary. It is projected that the capacities of these two schools would increase to 520 students for LM Montgomery Elementary and 826 students for Stratford Elementary. The additions for LM Montgomery Elementary and Stratford Elementary are projected to be completed for September 2019.
Future additions are being planned for the replacement of Sherwood Elementary and an addition to West Royalty Elementary. The capacities for these projects will be confirmed once the planning phase is finalized.
What We Heard
Change is needed
Solve the problems
Rezoning at the elementary level is preferred
Slightly more support for a new build over additions at the intermediate and senior high school levels
Could there be a rezoning process that would better use the available space? -Online survey feedback
Removing Stratford kids and placing them in their own communities in their own school solves most of the overcrowding issues in city intermediates and Charlottetown Rural with only a few minor rezones back within the city (ie some of Queen Charlotte students to Birchwood for example). Stratford's booming population growth supports this long term plan for the future.- Online survey feedback
Elementary
Option 1
Rezone students living in Orchard
Hill/Lewis Point Park area who are
currently zoned to Spring Park
Elementary and who are in the
English program to West Royalty
Elementary.
.
● 142 students in the area
● 78 students in the English program
● West Royalty Elementary would be 519 students (only 24
students over capacity)
● By 2021, West Royalty Elementary Functional Capacity will
be 700 students with the addition
Elementary
Option 2
Rezone students living in the ‘Queen
Street circle’ area (this includes
Burns Avenue, University Avenue,
Brown’s Court, Belvedere Avenue,
and North River Road), who are
currently zoned for Spring Park
Elementary and are in the English
program to West Royalty Elementary.
● 149 students living in this area
● 99 students in the English program
● West Royalty Elementary would be 540 students (45
students over current capacity)
Elementary
Option 3
Rezone students living on North
River Road (inclusive of Churchill
Avenue, Peake Street, Windsor
Street, Spring Street, Villa Avenue,
Victoria Street, Green Street,
Highland Avenue, McGill Avenue,
Greenfield Avenue, Ambrose Street,
Pembrooke Terrace, Vail Drive and
Greenfield Avenue) who are currently
zoned for West Kent Elementary and
who are in the English program to St.
Jean Elementary.
Extend the St. Jean Elementary boundary to North River Road to include 63 students currently zoned to West Kent Elementary. ● Would require some internal services to be moved● West Kent Elementary would have room for growth● Transportation efficiency
Secondary
Option 1
Build an addition on Queen Charlotte
Intermediate to accommodate 200
students to meet enrolment
projections and leave some room for
growth or rezoning from Birchwood
Intermediate, if needed.
Build an addition on Queen Charlotte Intermediate for 200 students for classrooms and an additional gym.● Cost $9,500,000● Two years to build● Loss of ball field
Secondary
Option 2
Acquire property to build a Stratford
Secondary to accommodate
intermediate and senior high school
students for a population of 1400
students.
Build a 1400 student Stratford Secondary school.● Cost $59,500,000 (1400 students)● Acquire land● Rezone Stratford students from Charlottetown Rural
Senior High and Birchwood Intermediate to Stratford Secondary
● Rezone Donagh Regional students from Charlottetown Rural Senior High and Stonepark Intermediate to Stratford Secondary
● Redistribute Charlottetown students (1430-1570) between remaining intermediates and senior high schools.
Benefits● Alleviate infrastructure constraints on Charlottetown
intermediates and senior high schools● Transportation efficiency
Site Selection Consideration● Achieves transportation efficiency● Multiple road access● Access to green space● Sports facilities
Secondary
Option 3
Acquire property to build a senior
high school (grades 10-12) in
Stratford.
Acquire a property to build a 10-12 school in Stratford, rezone all
students living in the Stratford zone and the Donagh zone who
are currently zoned for Charlottetown Rural Senior High to a 10-
12 school in Stratford. Redistribute remaining high school
students between the two existing high schools.
● Cost: $34,000,000● Would leave 1600-1900 students for the two Charlottetown
Area senior high schools● Wouldn’t impact core programs for all three senior high
schools● Could be some specialized programming● Transition will be handled to ensure little impact on
prerequisites and scholarships for post-secondary● Recommendation would be partnered with an addition to
Queen Charlotte Intermediate for 200 students
Secondary
Option 4
Build an addition onto Charlottetown
Rural Senior High to accommodate 300
or more additional students with the
possibility of rezoning some students
from Colonel Gray Senior High to

additional students it would need to include:
● 12 standard classrooms
● Student washrooms
● 2 teacher planning rooms

● Cost: $13,100,000
● Time: Two years
