Chamblee and Wiley (Wylie) School, 1916 DeKalb school surveys

Another DeKalb County school described in the book is Wiley. Since I was not familiar with Wiley School, I started out by researching the location only to discover I had written about this school before, but under the spelling Wylie.

Redan and Shady Grove Schools 1916

Redan School and Shady Grove Schools are included in the 1916 book, “Educational Surveys of DeKalb County and Union County, Georgia.” I am slowly working my way through the schools in this book.

More DeKalb County schools in survey conducted 1916: Rehoboth and Montreal

The survey book describes Rehoboth School as being a new $2,000 building on one acre, with a few trees and an “ample playground”.

DeKalb County Schools survey 1916, Doraville and Tucker

I recently came across a book online titled “Educational Surveys of DeKalb and Union County Georgia,” dated 1916. It includes photos and short descriptions of all the DeKalb County Schools at the time. I was glad to discover the DeKalb History Center had a copy of the book and went to see it in their archives.
