The Batson School was built on land donated by William M. Batson. He also donated much of the money needed to construct the school. To access the school from the east side of the West Fork of the Grand River, the students would travel down Batson Avenue (which crossed William Batson’s land) and across the West Fork of the Grand River on the Batson Bridge. The school was closed in the early 1940’s due to consolidation.

For a detailed sketch of the area please see Land Map of William M. Batson.
