Search for Closed Schools

When schools close, this information gets updated on the School Directory Public Portal.

School closings can indicate that a school is no longer operational (i.e., no student enrollments, no staff, not conducting school). A school closing can also mean that a school has restructured and changed their name to reflect the new status.

Here is a scenario as an example:

Susan B. Anthony Elementary was a five-year-old kindergarten though 5th grade elementary school.

Then the elementary school structure was reconfigured for the district.

The building was renamed Susan B. Anthony Elementary School and Early Learning Center, and it serviced grades 4K through 2nd grade.

In a scenario like this, Susan B. Anthony Elementary as a five-year-old kindergarten though 5th-grade school "closed" by name. The building maintained enrollment for students within the new grade parameters, and the building continued to functionally conduct school with staff and students, as the changes occurred over summer.
