• Grosvenor Park School – closed in 1993; now the Saskatoon Islamic Centre and home to the Saskatoon Misbah School.
• King Edward School – originally built in 1904 in the downtown where it doubled as City Hall until demolition in 1956; a replacement school in City Park, adjacent to Kinsmen Park, operated until 1980 when it closed after a fire. The building was demolished and was replaced by King Edward Place, a low-cost housing development.
• Lorne Haselton School – opened in 1961 but closed in the mid-1980s; now the Saskatchewan Abilities Council.
• McNab Park School (formerly Air Marshall Curtis School) – closed in the early 1980s and demolished soon after. After sitting as a vacant lot for decades, the site was designated as part of a new hotel and business district near the airport.
• Pleasant Hill School – closed in June 2023. The provincial government approved a new school for Saskatoon city centre in 2020. The new pre-Kindergarten to Grade 8 school will amalgamate Princess Alexandra, King George and Pleasant Hill schools.

It was built in 1931 along the riverbank in the Central Business District. This high school also housed the Saskatoon Public School Board administrative offices and was called the Gathercole Centre. The school was decommissioned in the 1990s and the school board relocated its offices to the Eaton's Building in the 2000s. After a brief stint as a filming location, the building was demolished in the late 2000s to make way for the city's River Landing redevelopment. As of 2019, the ALT Hotel stands where Riverview/Gathercole Centre used to be.
• Thornton School – demolished in 1997; replaced by a townhouse development.
• original Victoria School – dismantled, moved from its original location on Broadway Avenue and 12th Street and rebuilt on the University of Saskatchewan campus in 1911.

• Wilson School – closed in 1993 and amalgamated with North Park School to become North Park Wilson School; later becoming the First Nations University of Canada (FNUC) in Saskatoon. In 2011, FNUC sold the building to Affinity Credit Union to convert it to an office.
