Foch Middle School, in the East Village neighborhood, was built in 1924 and served the community for nearly 80 years before it closed in 2004. While Foch is in overall good condition, the building has some water damage, vandalism and scrapping, according to a 2021 Detroit Historic Vacant School Property Study. Rehabbing the school would cost $20.8 million, far more than demolishing it, district officials have said.

Update: Foch Middle School was completely demolished by Mid March, 2024.
