The older part of the present day Austinburg
Elementary building was constructed as a high school and dedicated in
1938. Previous to that, the area high school students attended
Grand River Institute, which is still across the street from Austinburg
Elementary.
In l955, the primary wing was added to the school, and students in
grades K-12 attended under one roof. When Austinburg consolidated
with Geneva Schools in 1961, the school became known as Austinburg
Elementary, housing students in grades K-6 only. In 2010 the 6th grade
was moved to the new Middle School.
Austinburg currently has approximately 345 students, including twelve
to fourteen students in our handicapped preschool program. In
1998, an elevator was constructed in our building
to meet state guidelines for handicapped accessibility.
