(These older schools were established in 1839, 1883 and 1844 respectively). Also a high school had been established in 1883 "The Colored High School", which later became Frederick Douglass High School. In addition, with also co-educational Forest Park High School later built in the 1920s in the northwest area of the City, these types of neighborhood/district "comprehensive" public high schools soon spread through all quadrants of the City, eventually numbering about 20 co-ed neighborhood high schools in Baltimore City by the early 1970s.
