The school was originally part of the Tallmadge School District but was annexed by Akron Public Schools in 1931. It is named in honor of Betty Jane McBrayer (1921-27), the young daughter of Tallmadge Board of Education President Thomas McBrayer. As president of the school board, Mr. McBrayer worked to ensure that a new school would be built on Darrow Road. McBrayers daughter attended school on the site of the present building before she died at a young age. After the new building was completed, the townspeople offered to name the new school McBrayer because of his untiring efforts in making it a reality, but Mr. McBrayer asked that the school be named instead in memory of his little girl, Betty Jane.
