History of the school

Today, children learn in two buildings: the older one, built in 1935, and the newly built one in the 1990s.

On February 9, 1945, the school was closed due to hostilities. After the fighting, there were traces of bullet marks on the building. In 1946, children from Rakoszyce and the surrounding villages attended a school in Świdnica Polska.

In 1947, a school was reopened in Rakoszyce, in a building that had been rented out in the village. The school was re-opened thanks to Teresa Danowska (later Zmioch), who was the only teacher at this school. At that time, it was a 4-grade school attended by 57 children.
There was a library in the school (about 50 volumes). At that time, the village had 255 inhabitants (ie about 3 times less than today).

In 1951, scouting was organized for the first time on the premises of the school. In 1984, the Social Committee for the Expansion of Schools was established. At that time, the headmaster of the school was Henryk Graboń. In 1985, construction started and in December 1992 the new building was put into use. It was an 8-grade school, and in 1999 a gymnasium was established. In the years 1993/94, the school received a computer lab.
