Despite losing jurisdiction over many of its schools in just twenty years, the school system still boasted 33 separate schools and a student population of nearly 5,000. </p><p>Following the 1926 Miami hurricane, many schools were destroyed. The hurricane ended the 1920s land boom in Miami, and ushered in the Great Depression to the area long before the actual <a href="/wiki/Black_Tuesday" class="mw-redirect" title="Black Tuesday">market crash</a> of 1929. The crash forced many more schools not destroyed by the hurricane to be closed.
