SHIRLEY, Maine (AP) — After more than a century and a half, school will be out for good Thursday at a one-room schoolhouse attended by two students in the rural northern Maine town of Shirley.

The Bangor Daily News reports that the school committee and residents voted in May to close the kindergarten-to-grade-five school south of Moosehead Lake as of July 1. The only other one-room schoolhouse on the state’s mainland, the Rockwood School, also has only two students and is also scheduled to close this year. Several one-room schools operate in Maine’s island communities.

Even though both schools have more than a single room, the state classifies schools with multiple grades and one teacher as one-room schools. The Shirley School’s had as many as 50 students enrolled at a time since it was built in 1835.
