Eight in the county district (James A. Cawood, Cawood, Wallins, Cumberland, Green Hills, Evarts, Black Mountain and Rosspoint).
Yes, Black Star closed in 65, I think. The elementary closed in 85 and burned down soon after.
I have a few clues.

I think you are a little off on the year on this one HDE. Loyal, Hall High and Wallins closed in the mid 60s to form Cawood. The first year Cawood was open most sports fans referred to the school as James A. instead of Cawood. Benham and Black Star closed several years earlier. I can actually remember my Evarts Wildcats beating up on Loyal, Wallins and Hall (the last year for Hall High, EHS beat them 78-0) but I have no memory of Black Star or Benham. I think Black Star closed around 61.

I can also remember going to Black Star Elementary in about 1982. I couldn't believe they were still having school in the building. It was very dark inside. Many of the windows were broken. The building was in sad shape.
