According to provincial measurements, there are too many students attending Saint John High and St. Malachy's.
The Superintendent of School District 8 Micheal Butler tells CHSJ News it will take a couple of years to be in compliance as enrollment continues to decline.There's a waiting list of more than 80 students for the two uptown high schools.
Butler warns down the road, with those declining enrollments, a decision will have to be made whether four high schools in the city can be maintained.
Butler estimates within the next four years there will be a thousand fewer students in our high schools.
