Seven Oaks
Seven Oaks School
37th & Jackson Ave.
Seven Oaks School was part of a generation of school buildings designed by Kansas City School District architect Charles Smith between 1890 and 1935 that embodied Progressive Era ideals about education, health and safety. It opened in September 1927, just 10 months after construction started, to serve more than 400 elementary students living in the growing neighborhoods nearby. Local children attended Seven Oaks School for 70 years before it closed in 1997.
