Schools Of The Past: Guilford District 11 – Yaleville

The Yaleville School which is located on County Road 38 about half-way between Guilford and Bainbridge is still standing, privately owned, and maintained in what appears from the road good condition. This property is posted and thus this writer was unable to view at a close look the exterior or interior. A photo was taken, but has been misplaced and if found will be posted in future articles at a later date.

It has been written that the early District Schools had larger number of pupils than in the later years. With fewer pupils they were easier to control and to teach. When the district schools closed doors due to less population the residents living in the Yaleville area endeavored heartily to further their children’s education.

This school was located just up the road from the district school known as Prince’s school. To all who are familiar with the area it is known as Yaleville. The guiding light behind this early district school was Chester Yale, and also instrumental in the consolidation with the Prince school.
