==School Districts== This area, originally part of the Vanderburgh County School Corporation, was served beginning in the mid 1870s by Center Township School #7 (Hooker School, at Oak Hill and Whetstone Rds.) and Center Township School #4 (originally at Oak Hill and Bergdolt Rds, then moved to Oak Hill and Lynch Rds. and named "Lynch School"). In 1918, Hooker School, along with two other schools, was consolidated into McCutchanville School and closed, while Lynch School continued to serve a small part of the district. In 1944, a local resident remembered walking six miles each way as a child between McCutchanville School and his home on what is now Hitch-Peters Rd.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://local.evpl.org/views/viewimage.asp?ID=646937|title=View Image}}</ref> From 1948 to 1957, Lynch and McCutchanville Schools were combined into one district, with students in grades 1 and 2 attending Lynch and grades 3 to 8 attending McCutchanville. The new Oak Hill School was opened in 1957 for grades 1 to 5, with grades 6 to 8 attending McCutchanville School (Lynch School was re-purposed for disabled students). The Oak Hill School 1966 upper grades addition opened the school to all students in grades K to 8, and McCutchanville School was closed. From 1966 to 1984, all students north of Lynch Road and west of the Vanderburgh/Warrick county line, in an area extending halfway into McCutchanville to the north, attended Oak Hill Elementary School (K-8) and North High School. This included the entirety of current-day "Melody Hill." With the 1984 EVSC middle school redistricting plan, Melody Hill was split along St. George Rd. between two elementary districts (Vogel and Scott) for grades K-5, with older grades attending Oak Hill Middle School and North High School. In 2011, following the construction of the new North High School (gr. 9-12) and North Junior High School (gr. 7-8), Oak Hill again became an elementary school (gr. K-6), but students south of St. George Rd. continued at Vogel Elementary (K-6). In response to explosive population growth in the area, which was straining resources at Scott and Oak Hill schools, a new McCutchanville school (gr. K-6) was opened in 2018.
