The new Lexington High School is planning for 2,395 students, only a 3.3% increase from 2023/2024

This may be insuffient to meet the influx expected from the MBTA rezoning. Speaking of the MBTA rezoning: 'This is a major step to open up Lexington to more folks to be here' - Mike Kennealy, former Housing and Economic Development Secretary and Lexington resident. 'Yes, the town will get at least 1,100 new multifamily housing units because of the MBTA Communities Act, but new housing could also come in different ways.' Maggie Scale for the Lexington Observer
