In May 2011, the Shikellamy School Board voted to close both middle schools due to three factors: declining enrollment district-wide; the need for costly, major renovations of the two middle school buildings and significant budget challenges for the foreseeable future. Beginning with the 2011-12 school year, sixth grade will be provided at each elementary school while seventh and eighth grades will be provided at the recently renovated and underutilized high school building. The superintendent reported that closing of the middle schools would save district taxpayers about $800,000.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://dailyitem.com/0100_news/x1250115045/Close-schools-cut-jobs/print |title=Close schools, cut jobs |author=Francis Scarcella |publisher=The Daily Item |date=April 27, 2011}}</ref> C.W.
