Kosciusko Elementary was one of the westernmost schools in Detroit, serving the Rouge Park neighborhood. It was built in 1955 and named for Tadeusz Kościuszko, a Polish General who fought alongside George Washington in the American Independence War and led an uprising against Russian rule in Poland in 1794.
The school closed in 2007. Designed for 400 students, it had only 286 students at the end of the 2006 school year.
