Heathcote is one of 5 Elementary Schools in Scarsdale, NY. The building itself was built in 1954 and its unique design was featured in Life Magazine that same year. Scarsdale is a union free school district and teachers are some of the highest paid in the state. And they are also some of the best. Both my kids excelled at Heathcote because of very good teachers.
