| Additional Information: | Joint School District No. 12, shared with Christiana Township in Dane County, constructed a brick schoolhouse in 1885. TThe opening of the school was not without controversy as a number of citizens opposed the new school because they did not want to financially support it or they feared enrollment in neighboring school districts would decline. Southwest Oakland School closed in the mid-twentieth century, and the district was consolidated with the Cambridge school district. The schoolhouse is now a private residence.
