M. Hall Stanton Public School

M. Hall Stanton Public School is a school building in North Philadelphia.

The former building

The school building was constructed in 1957. It formerly functioned as a K-8 school operated by the School District of Philadelphia; the school began operations in the 1800s in a different building.[1] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 2018.[2]

Stanton K-8 closed in 2013 due to the number of students being too low.[3] KIPP later opened school facilities in the former building.[4]
