About New Scotland Elementary
New Scotland Elementary School, the former School 19, serves students in prekindergarten through grade 5. Our mission is to provide an environment through the cooperation of parents, students, teachers, administrators and community residents in which students can achieve their academic and emotional potential through the development of self-confidence, self-discipline, self-expression, and creativity.

In January 2009, New Scotland Elementary returned to a complete renovated and updated school at its familiar location. Check out a Photo Gallery highlighting the new features at New Scotland Elementary School.
