Jefferson No. 4 was named the Willow Grove School due to a row of willow trees that lined the east side of the property. This land had two different school buildings; the first was replaced by a newer one in 1912. The older building was moved to a nearby farm for storage. The newer building first closed some time in the 1940s but records indicate it reopened for the 1950-1951 school year.
