SCHOOL SUMMARY:Bloomingdale Elementary School was named "not for a person who has distinguished himself, but for a community which has distinguished itself."
The school's magnet program is The Fine and Performing Arts Academy, designed to help students balance skills and self-discipline with creativity and self-expression through drama, dance, music and visual arts. Arts instruction is correlated with academic curriculum. Professional guest artists visit the school to help enhance the program.
In the early 1950s, about 350 citizens protested the closure of the old Bloomingdale school, which was located in a log cabin, according to past reports. A state committee recommended that the town abandon it. And in the late '50s, the school issued a "snake alert" when five diamondback rattlers were found on and near school grounds, according to past reports.
Bloomingdale Elementary School houses the Fine and Performing Arts Academy.
