Description	Schuyler School (also spelled Schyler) in the northwest corner of Grafton Township, was opened circa 1859 (McHenry County, Grafton Township). On May 2, 1902, the Marengo Republican News reported the school had been “struck by lightning and burned to the ground.” The school was rebuilt. On March 12, 1903, the Crystal Lake Herald stated, “Those who were responsible for its erection and equipment may well feel gratified over the handsome results of their efforts.” The school had the latest in “aides to successful teaching” and was “heated by an improved furnace.” It has screens and curtains on the windows, and “water was supplied by a splendid well in the basement.” Records list new outhouses in 1917 and in 1920 the school closed for a month due to influenza. The school generally had high class numbers reaching 28 students in its final year. Of the last three years, there were seven eighth graders, three of whom graduated. After consolidation with Huntley in 1920, the structure was vacant for a time, deteriorating, and was torn down in 2005.
