The school opened in 1912 and served grades one to eight until its closure in 1996, when it merged with two other schools to form Brookline Regional Catholic School, now known as St. John Bosco Academy.

In 1928, just 16 years after opening, the school had 800 students and a third addition.[1] From the time of the school's opening, Ressi was the main feeder school of Resurrection High School, also of Resurrection parish, until the high school's closure in 1935.[1] In 1938, a new, separate church building was erected, and the Resurrection Elementary was able to expand into what was formerly church quarters.[1] By 1953, more than 1,300 students attended the school, and additional space was needed.[1] Kindergarten and first grade moved into four classrooms in the converted church basement, and the gym was also divided into classrooms.[1] In 1957, a new middle school annex with six classrooms was built, along with a new convent for the growing number of Sisters.[1] Peak enrollment was in 1962, at about 2,000.[1]

In 1963, the school shrank slightly due to the opening of Our Lady of Loreto School nearby. However, the school still needed space, and in 1965 the Activities Center opened, containing a gymnasium, six new classrooms, library, and rooms for use by the parish.[1]

During the 1970s and 80s, the school enrollment continued to drop. By 1996, there were only 600 students left, down 71% from a peak of 2,000 in 1962.[1] In 1996, the school merged with Our Lady of Loreto School and St. Pius X School to create Brookline Regional Catholic School, now known as St. John Bosco Academy.[1]
