In my area they usually just sell the building to private schools. Elementary turns into Stratford, high school into charter school or some sort of international school / private school, etc.

There's an old junior high/middle school in my school district that had to close because of earthquake concerns. I heard that the place closed down more than 20 years ago but I've driven by and it's still fenced off and the buildings are still there unoccupied. The district still owns it and could probably sell it to housing developers, but I'm not sure if it's zoned for that.
Another school was torn down for similar reasons and a lot of it is just empty grass, but part of it (the old basketball courts) seems to host some private school in portable buildings.
Cool project that took a crazy amount of money to finish.
I know of a old hospital that was converted into a hotel.

Looking at the pictures, the movie 'The Money Pit' comes to mind!
Built in 1924? You can bet that there's very little insulation in that place. Also it may well have asbestos in it and could well be a pending Super-Fund site that could costs millions to "rehabilitate", particularly in the People's Republic of California.
With 1.76 acres of property, you REALLY have to wonder why the city or county hasn't bulldozed it and built a new school or other facility there.
They sell to highest bidder here do what you want.
One golden oldie has been owned by an artist couple for 40 years as a home whith lots of strange sculptures and artwork throughout,
Another became a live in daycare

If a person can’t maintain who cares?
It’s their right to fail.
Turn it into a MOUT training facility. The Army converted Muscatatuck from a mental ward to a full out MOUT training facility.
With some work, I'm seeing one hell of a gun shop! 
This is a nice gun shop / indoor shooting range in the Chicago suburbs, that was converted from a big bar / restaurant

Wait.....is this just a bad angle or is there a heart shaped tub in that place?
Seriously though, that place has some REALLY weird facilities in it for being a school. Almost like it lived a second life as a filming location....for adult videos.
