The stale list, disposed of line by line

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

The mirror list as carried in the frame pass (gap G-SP-2); disposals on the carriers cited in the pass note — the NCES directory 2025–2026, the contemporaneous Tribune closure record of 2021, and the district's own carriers

A second-hand mirror assigns this town four schools — Darden Primary, Tarkington Traditional, Clay Intermediate and Clay High School — and every line of it is out of date. Darden Primary is a stale name only: the school stands as Darden Elementary School (NCES directory 2025–2026: open, kindergarten to grade 5, 18645 Janet Street), and aggregators still printing "Darden Primary Center" in November 2026 print a survival, not a current name. Tarkington Traditional is closed: the board voted in February 2021 to close Tarkington over that summer, with Hay Elementary, and the building passed that summer to Paramount Schools of Excellence under the $1 law; its students were directed to Darden or Swanson, most going to Darden on the reference record. One aggregator's "Closed 2023" stands against the contemporaneous 2021 record and is registered as conflict C10; 2021 governs. Clay Intermediate is superseded in name and form: the Lily Road school stands as Clay International Academy, a PreK–8 school at 52900 Lily Road (NCES: open), authorised as an International Baccalaureate World School for the Primary Years Programme in April 2026 — a regional, magnet-form school, and not printed in any reached carrier as this town's geographically assigned middle school. Clay High School is closed, at the end of 2023–24 (above). The frame pass's own 2021 zoning names fare no better as current geography: Darden Elementary stands, but "Edison Middle" is a stale name (below) and Clay High School is gone. A list that cannot be current in any line is not corrected line by line into a new list — the town's actual assignment is the next article's work.
