 It was established around 1953 as an Amish and Old Order Mennonite school, but the Amish community no longer attended the school.In 2007, the Conestoga Valley school board voted to close the school for good, citing new teacher certification requirements, operating costs, and new curriculum requirements.The school served around 35 students at the time of closing taught by only two teachers, one for grades 1-4 and one for grades 5-8.
