The Elementary School I Studied in

The elementary school I studied in was right behind my village, separated by a moat, which was the protective barrier of my village.

The school catered to children from four villages. To the west was Xiaoliu Village, to the north was You Village, to the east was Dou Village, and my village was situated between Dou Village and Xiaoliu Village.

These four villages were all small. Since that was the case, the school wasn't very big, consisting of only a row of bungalows stretching from east to west, with about ten single rooms.

There may have been only five classes, from grade one to grade five—each grade had just one class with around thirty students.

There were only three teachers in the school: one headmaster and two regular teachers. The headmaster was a state-paid teacher (he didn’t teach regularly), while the other two were not. They were actually farmers who taught part-time.

Students in all grades had only two subjects: Chinese and mathematics. The two regular teachers taught both subjects to all grades.

I studied there for five years. At that time, rural elementary schools only had five grades, unlike the current system. After graduating from that school, I went to middle school in my hometown.

However, my elementary school no longer exists. I don’t even know when it was closed. It’s not only my elementary school that met this fate, but also many other rural schools, as many families have sent their children to cities to study nowadays.

Corrections

The elementary school I studied in was right behind my village, I used to live in. It was separated by a moat, which was the protectiveacted as a physical barrier ofbetween my village and the school.

The original sentence was good grammatically, but it was hard to understand what you were truly trying to say.

To the west was Xiaoliu Village, to the north was You Village, to the east was Dou Village, and my village was in the center, situated between Dou Village and Xiaoliu Village.

Since that was the case, the school wasn't very big, consisting of only a row of bungalows stretching from east to west, with about ten single roomdividual units.

There may have been onlywas only about five classes, from grade one to grade five—each grade had just one class with around thirty students.

They other two were actually farmers who taught part-time.

Students in all grades had only had two subjects: Chinese and mathematics.

At that time, rural elementary schools only had five grades, unlike the current system (which had X).

I would say how many there are now for people who are unfamiliar with the new system.

I don’t even know when it was closed.

It’s not only my elementary school that met this fate, but also many other rural schools, as many families have sentd their children to cities to study nowadays.

Thank you very much.

'In' needs capital letter too.

You can remove a couple of the 'was' as you are repeating the earlier struction.
