Washington No. 7 (Walnut Valley School) appears on plat maps as early as 1900, but an exact opening date is unknown. Following its closure in 1954, the building was reportedly used for farm storage, however it still appears on a 1966 plat map as an operating school. As of 2009 the building was still standing but had acquired tornado damage in addition to general disrepair from age.
