Bratenahl School 2019

(General Paragraph) The Bratenahl Elementary School (grades one through eight), commonly referred to as the Bratenahl School, located at 10300 Brighton Road, opened for classes on February 4, 1907. Bratenahl elementary students attended the North Doan School, later the Oliver Wendell Holmes School, located at 625 East 105th Street, from 1904 to 1906, and met at a summer home near Lake Erie while the Bratenahl School was under construction.  A kindergarten class was added in September 1937.

(General Paragraph) Both public schools closed permanently on June 30, 1981.  For over ten years prior to the closing, school officials and Bratenahl residents litigated at every level of the state and federal court system, including the Ohio and United States Supreme Courts, to keep the Bratenahl school system independent and its schools open.  Ultimately, their efforts were unsuccessful.
