All of these schools with the exception of the King Street School operated from 1931-1951 were one-room schoolhouses that were merged.
According to the New York Times, homes in the district had a mean sale price of $966,000 in 2014; which was a significant increase from $892,000 in 2013 and $844,000 in 2010. Homes mostly vary from $525,000-$25,000,000 and the district's mean sale price was at its highest in 2007 at $1,278,000 - just before the housing market crashed. The lowest recorded mean sale price was in 2008 at $822,000.
Before the school district was officially chartered, one-room schoolhouses devoid of windows were prevalent. The school districts began merging into what was then known as Rural School District No. 4 of the Towns of New Castle & Mount Pleasant which became the Chappaqua Central School District. The Chappaqua Central School District, pursuant to Education Law, merged to what was then known as Chappaqua School District No. 4 completely by 1927. In need of larger facilities, construction on Horace Greeley School, named for Horace Greeley, a prominent statesman and news publisher that lived in town, began that same year. The building was designed and built by John Borup, as indicated on a plaque outside the entrance by the Auditorium. Construction finished in 1928, and the school opened that September as a grade 1-12 school. In 1937, the Public Works Administration completed an addition including a new gymnasium, and designed by the firm of Tooker & Marsh and built by Wintour J. Hackett & Co. The district principal at the time was Dr. Robert E. Bell, for whom Bell Middle School is now named. Douglas G. Grafflin, for whom the Grafflin School was named, was Bell's successor as district principal.
