New Straitsville's success was due primarily to coal mining, although other forces contributing to its growth included oil exploration, clay-product manufacturing, iron ore and limestone excavation and the production of moonshine. The town grew and therefore outgrew its 1871 public school building. In 1916-1917 the New Straitsville School was built under the leadership of Superintendent W.O. Renner.

It served an important role in the village of New Straitsville throughout most of the 20t century. "More than any other institution in the town, the New Straitsville Public School shaped the lives of young people," according to a local history (Gibson, Photographic History of New Straitsville). The design of the New Straitsville School (Kindergarten was first taught in the community from the 1930's forward in a church.) New Straitsville's economy shifted from agricultural to industrial after 1870. This shift resulted in building with only two rooms built c.1835 in Old Straitsville, about a mile northwest. Soon after the founding of New Straitsville, in 1871, a large two-story Italianate brick school ("the Old Red School") was constructed to educate the new community's children. It was built on Ball Street just east of Clark Street, on a hill overlooking the town.

This building served as the community's only public school and center for activities until 1916 when the New Straitsville School was built to accommodate the town's School attendance was made compulsory in Ohio for all children ages six through eighteen with the including in New Straitsville. Community growth in combination with mandatory attendance and the additional consolidation of one-room country schools fostered growth in the school in New Straitsville through 1936. In this year the graduating class of New Straitsville School peaked at 42 graduates. for more stable communities. By 1940 the town's population was down to 1,468.

A new high school, Miller High School, opened in 1964, east of the Village of Hemlock.

Another state law, passed in 1923, mandated at least 100 hours of most modern schools. Public pressure led to more legislation to expand curriculums to include vocational areas along with exposure to cultural events such as music and drama.
