Rothesay Park School is a middle school situated in Rothesay, New Brunswick, Canada. The school serves about 300 students in grades 6 to 8 in New Brunswick School District 06.

History

The school was founded in the late 19th century. It moved into a purpose brick built building, the first in the area, in 1915 when it was known as "Rothesay Consolidated School" and educated in grades 1-12. After the opening of a new high school in the 1950s it was renamed as "Rothesay Elementary School" and restricted to grades 1-6. However this school closed in 1975 and a new Rothesay Elementary School opened nearby. Community pressure resisted the demolition of the building which re-opened in 1977 as "Rothesay Park Elementary School". A further reorganisation occurred in 1997 when it became a grade 6-8 middle school, now called "Rothesay Park School".cite web |url=http://rothesaypark.nbed.nb.ca/index_files/Page679.htm |title=A Brief History of Rothesay Park School |publisher=Rothesay Park School |accessdate=2008-02-13]
