context_page_description: Eastern District High School is a defunct public high school in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City. It was originally located at Driggs Avenue and South 3rd Street, then 227 Marcy Avenue, and finally 850 Grand Street. It was a comprehensive high school.
  Eastern District High School operated from 1900 to mid-1996, when it was closed because of poor academic performance. The current campus at Grand Street opened in 1981. After Eastern District High School closed, the building was rebranded in late 1996 as the Grand Street Campus, with several smaller schools operating within the same facilities.
