History
Named after its location on Queen's Avenue. The school was decommissioned in 1925 after the Canadian National Railway constructed a railway 100 feet from the school, causing extreme noise pollution detrimental to the conduct of class instruction. The decommissioned school was then sold to the Canadian National Railway in 1926 and the building was demolished in 1949.
