But I can give you 15 for every one you name. Granted the school and the
airport you mentioned are older than the average, but within 30 miles of me
I can name several airports (MRC, 2M2, heck BNA for that matter) that were
all built "in the boonies" so they wouldn't bother anyone. Now the urban
creep has caught them and they're facing the noise complaints that we've all
seen before.
Note to self: If there is an airport next door to the house I'm thinking
about buying, it's MY FAULT if I buy the house and don't like airplane
noise.

Not to mention that I'd bet you $10 that you'd be hard pressed to find a
GA airport that was built near a school. My experience has been that the
airport was in existence for 30 years and then they put the school 1/4
mile from the threshold.
Not hard pressed at all. My home airport fills the bill. From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danbury,_Connecticut
A 60 acre (243,000 mē) tract near the Danbury Fairgrounds known as
Tucker's Field was purchased by local pilots in 1928, and leased to the
town. This became an airport, which is now Danbury Municipal Airport
(ICAO airport code: KDXR).
From http://www.woosterschool.org/oncampus/history/
So the charter of Wooster School was registered with the State of
Connecticut in November, 1925, and the school opened the following fall.
I bet a lot of places are like that. Both the school and the airport go
way back. Schools were invented before airplanes, so if they both go back
far enough, the school will win.
