The School District of Reedsburg made the decision to close the school after the 2017 Referendum, and built a new elementary school on the east side of town. The school officially closed on June 11, 2019. Commemorative t-shirts were given out to all students and staff, and they were also purchasable from the South School PTO.[2] During the 2nd Annual Reedsburg Community Tree Lighting, the City of Reedsburg sold commemorative ornaments celebrating South School's 82 year long service.
