History
West Chester originally served grades 1 through 8, but eventually grades 7 and 8 were relocated to Chester County Junior High School when it was built.
Later on, sixth grade was moved into North Chester, which was previously a school for African-American children.
In 1997, grades 4 and 5 were moved to the newly established Chester County Middle School, which previously housed Chester County High School.
