This is disappointing, though I suppose a bright spot is that Crossroads intends to proceed on their own and open by 2018.

Crossroads Academy high school going into Thayer Building complex at 9th and Broadway.

Crossroads Academy Finds Downtown Home for 600-Student Prep School
The Crossroads Academy has found a permanent home for its long-awaited downtown high school, the historic Thayer Building at 816 Broadway.

Acquiring the building marks the culmination of a educational journey that began in 2012 when the downtown charter school opened with 190 elementary students in a former office building at 1015 Central.

Next year, enrollment is projected to grow to 795 students with the ultimate goal of enrolling 1,300. Crossroads also been recognized as a top charter school in Missouri for the quality of its educational program.

“This is a culmination of all the hard work of our staff and parents,” said Tysie McDowell-Ray, Crossroads co-founder and chief academic officer.

“This really completes the journey of a Crossroads student with us, starting in kindergarten and through the 12th grade.”

The Thayer, which currently is used as a DST Systems training facility, will be the third building in the Crossroads Academy downtown campus. In addition to the original facility, the school occupies a former Quality Hill mansion at 1080 Washington St.

Great to keep the schools close together. QH property values and rental rates have to be rising.
