In 1940, as the number of students grew to 40, the school moved to a new building and was renamed Dabikinė Elementary School.

The railroad building was too small and the school was forced to rent two other buildings more than one kilometre (0.62 miles) apart. In 1953-54 the school was reorganized again as a high school.
