My friend Paul and I were on a quest to take some photos for my photography class. On the way, we spotted this school near the intersections of Ash and 15th street and decided to check it out. This is near Mexican Town. We pulled over and went in to have a peak.

  • There are a lot of abandoned schools in Detroit that just lost funding and sbruptly left all their supplies there. I know a woman who goes into the abandoned Detroit schools and takes all the stuff that was left and donates it to current students. When the schools lose funding they just shut their doors and that's it. It's very unfortunate.

  • When a school district loses funding or the number of students drops to a point in that the area schools are consolidated to save money. Depending on how the district was reorganized they probably thought it better just to cut thier efforts and just leave things there and start over. Essential items were removed, but things such as computers were probably out-dated when the schoold closed. The walls are all torn up beacuse people come in and take the copper pipes and other valuable metals.

  • @TheEpicLego123 What did he do then?

  • The school doesnt look safe the whole neighborhood doesnt looks safe it all looks abandoned

  • @inn22 The crack addicts even went as far as to steal the commercial grade electrical outlets. Along with the copper wiring, the commercial grade outlets sell for as much as three times the price of generic residential use power outlets.

  • I know someone who used to go to this school. He was half way through grade 5 and then the school shut down.

  • This is really really sad...I can't believe people would just let this happen...
