Zigzag
*UNDISCLOSED LOCALE*
Constructed circa 1915 to serve a rapidly growing area of the city, this school is considered one of the oldest in the country. A major expansion took place in the mid 1960's which added a wing of classrooms, a vocational education wing, and a large gymnasium. However at this time the neighborhood was already starting to decline due to the loss of industry and "white flight"
Though the school continued to persevere, by the 2000's it has become clear that the student body was still shrinking, the result of further neighborhood decline as well as the opening of charter schools. With the top floor closed and an entire wing partitioned off, less then 40 percent of the campus was in use by 2013, and the decision was made to close the school and move the remaining students to nearby facilities.
