  • Shuttered in 2014 lies a school in the midst of decay. Computer's left on, trampolines collecting dust, my friends and I go see what remains. Memories of past classes are still posted in the halls, literally. Posted everywhere are pictures of former students and faculty. While exploring this facility, it feels like you're in a apocalyptic scenario, walking in the footsteps of the past.

    As a teacher, it is a shame that the tables, chairs, desks, etc. could not have been sold to other schools or sold as surplus! These items are like GOLD to schools and teachers!

      I understand completely what you are saying, however the liability for the district for the conditions of used furniture is too great. When a school gets new furniture, they contract with the manufacture for conditions such as liability and warrenty. Yes they should action them off as surplus in a bidding package, that will bring in some money and pass it on legally out of the district "as is". I have a relative who works for a district and some time back a school was being remodled with the front offices being moved, including the book room. The new room included new shelving, so the old heavy duty adjustible shelving units (less then 10 years old) were going to be busted up and dumstered by the contractor. Cheaper for them to order new, then to unscrew the units from the wall and move them across the building. With permission from the contractor and principal, about 7 of these now line my garage wall free. 😉

      Exactly! I don’t understand why the homeless don’t just band together and squat these abandoned buildings. That’s what I did when my only other choice was to sleep on the street. I found an abandoned loft with electricity, cleaned it up, put a new lock on the door, and gave keys to my other friends on the street. We made music and art together and took care of each other with whatever little we had. Why would you choose to sleep on the street?

      I know this is two months late lol, but I find it really sad that the reason they left it all behind was because they were promised they could return once everything was taken care of, and well... we know how that went.
      In fact, there’s a five episode show about Chernobyl(literally just called Chernobyl), and it taught me a lot when I watched it. It has really gory and disturbing scenes so be careful if you feel like watching it.
      Another interesting thing about Chernobyl today is that, the clothes of the firefighters that went to battle the flames of the exploded core are still in the hospital and are still deadly radioactive to this day. No one can touch it because of how dangerous they still are. It’s an interesting, and kinda disturbing fact.

    This really felt apocalyptic. I wonder why it was abandoned like that.. with everything still left on, things still in their place, things in the middle of being worked on.. there is no way that the way that this school was abandoned WASN'T sudden.
    This school also seems like a time paradox.. the calendar said that the school was last inhabited in October of 2014, but in one classroom there was some wall decor that said that it was in June. If this was left in 2014, I dont believe that there would be that much stuff from the 90s.. VHS tapes, box tvs.. old Windows 07.. it's just so weird.

      Minimum power is required to keep exit signs lit, fire alarm system, and boiler running for liability and to prevent water pipes from freezing. This will sometimes also include lights near exit doors. Clearly the city or school district still is maintaining the school to some degree.

    If this school is still in tact and hasn’t been vandalized I would suggest not giving the name out to this school because you never know they can always re open it, re model it, or even turn it into something better in the future and that school doesn’t need to be risked at vandalizing. If someone goes in leave an encouraging note or a gift in respect don’t steal and spray paint the building. I don’t like when people do that ruin a nice building that could’ve been turned into something better one day.

All the fun they had running around, doing all sorts of fun things, and learning fun things...it just brings back that joy, and knowing that one school less won't be able to do that for children anymore is saddening. Every time I think back about my old elementary school, I feel a bit sad since it's been so long and I have so many precious memories, I someday want to go back to that school when I'm a bit older....I wonder if any of the staff that worked there when I went to the school still work there...

If you look at images of the playground and outside walls of the school it looks completely different from the outsides and playground of THIS school. Also, don't you think that if THIS ONE closed down due to a scam, they would have WENT BACK to get their belongings? You can also see panels of the ceiling missing and books that have been left open as if students were reading and then just put it down as if they had to leave immediately due to an emergency. Clearly this is a different school than the one the "23 people" were talking about. If I had to make an inference on what happened, it's that there was a huge fire and the fire was so severe that they could no longer use the school, and judging by their outdated technology, they didn't have the sufficient funds to fix it. However, some of the rooms and items (like the VHSes and books, not to mention the Windows XP computer that still works, and even has Steam installed) are intact and don't look burned down at all, so maybe it really wasn't a fire. But it had to be some sort of emergency or disaster that caused them to just abandon it.

      Well many are saying that the school closed because of a testing scam. When I hear 'testing scam' I think of school officials helping students cheat or perhaps changing the answers to help students (and the school) get a higher grade. But why would that cause everything to look as if people had to leave in a hurry (e.g. books out as if students were looking at them one minutes but quickly had to leave the next minute, etc)? Seems like I remember something like a testing scam happening in Atlanta sometime around 2014.

    The school looks like it was built in the 60s. My high school has the same style and was built in the 50s-60s. Displays, that brownish brick, the courtyard, the teal color- all of it is present at my school. Unfortunately, a good portion of my school will be torn down soon, while the rest will be renovated. As you guys kept on exploring, I felt that the school was literally my school but kiddy-fied. If the thing in the boiler room was the layout, it has a near identical layout, too.

But I really enjoyed seeing this transformation, as a matter of facts, my HS is the 2nd LARGEST HS in North Carolina with average of 35,000 students there. And my HS first started in 1951. But I can see a similar transformation with yours.
