Rarity
••• Unusual
Long before Reddington Elementary was opened, school convened in a single small building. As the student body grew over the years, the need for separate classrooms for each grade arose and the Mt. Holly Schoolhouse was officially closed down.
The Schoolhouse is a room in Blue Prince. It is listed as Room 3 of the Outer Rooms page in the Room Directory.
Drafting
As an Outer Room, the Schoolhouse can only be drafted from the Outer Room drafting location on the West Path.

Click to view
Ordinarily, the Schoolhouse has a 95% chance to get moved to 7th in the outer rooms list, requiring two redraws to see (and appearing in the first slot when doing so).
If Veteran Mode is enabled, Day 8 has been reached, or an Outer Room has been drafted at least 3 times previously, this chance is reduced to 45%.
If Room 46 has been reached, this chance is lowered to 10%. This low chance also applies if drafting the Outer Room on Day 1 when the first drafts were done fast enough to enable Veteran Mode (even when not on Bequest Mode, this is tied to actually enabling it through fast early drafts).
Points of interest
Documents
The Schoolhouse contains a written speech, originally given when the Schoolhouse closed in preparation for the opening of Reddington Elementary.
Gasline valve
The Schoolhouse also contains an interactable gasline valve. Opening it shows a brief cutscene of a blue flame being lit on the cliffside, in the lower section of the grounds; closing the valve shows the blue flame being snuffed out.

This is one of four gasline valves in the game, each of which has the same effect. Once all four flames are lit, a passage to the Precipice is revealed. See gas power for more information.
Effect
When the Schoolhouse is drafted, 8 Classroom floorplans are added to the drafting pool, allowing players to potentially draft and visit eight grade classroom variants. For more on this, see Classroom.
The Schoolhouse increases the chance for Library, Classroom, and 
[Studio Addition: Dormitory] to appear while drafting.

The Classroom floorplans that get added from the Schoolhouse do not all get added to the draft pool immediately. Instead, the spawns occur after a certain amount of draws have been done on the day, based on the number of times Classroom has been drafted as of the start of the day. (The top line where the requirements are hit is the one used. One classroom is added to the draft pool on the respective draw. Rewinding counts as a draw for this purpose.)
| Classroom number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6+ Classroom Drafts and Day 30+ | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 16 | 21 | 31 | 36 |
| 6+ Classroom Drafts | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 16 | 26 | 36 | 51 |
| 3+ Classroom Drafts or Veteran Mode | 0 | 0 | 0 | 26 | 36 | 46 | 56 | 61 |
| 1+ Classroom Drafts | 0 | 11 | 21 | 36 | 46 | 70 | 86 | 101 |
| 0 Classroom Drafts | 0 | 17 | 31 | 36 | 66 | 70 | 86 | 101 |
Also, the boosted chance is a 35% Priority Draw. Each Classroom floorplan in the draft pool independently gets the chance for priority, meaning that when there are multiple Classrooms in the draft pool they are extremely likely to be drawn.
Interactions
- The Chamber of Mirrors only adds an additional classroom if the Schoolhouse is also present, regardless of which room is drafted first.
