Description
-
According to an annual report by the Baltimore Association, the school at Gravel Hill opened on January 18, 1866. Gravel Hill appears to have been in operation from January 1866 - June 1866, likely taking a summer break that same year. The school then reopened in November and continued through June 1867. One of the last statistical reports that could be located for Gravel Hill was for May 1867 and stated an enrollment of 17 pupils, with an average attendance of 12. The school is not included in any reports for the 1867-1868 school year, suggesting that Gravel Hill's funders (the Baltimore Association and the New York Association) decided against continued support due to low attendance. The school could not be located in any other documentation until the 1881 annual report of the State Board of Education for Maryland, where it appears the school finally reopened for the spring term in 1881, under Harford County control.
