Midwich Elementary School is a school located on the south-west side of Old Silent Hill, on Midwich Street. Alessa Gillespie was a student there, and as such it is an important location in the first Silent Hill game.
In the original Silent Hill, Midwich Elementary is the very first location Harry Mason visits that undergoes a complete Otherworld transition. He explores the school believing his daughter Cheryl is there. In the process, he learns that Alessa Gillespie was a former student of the school and that she was not treated very well by other students. He also encounters the Grey children (or Mumblers in the UK and JP version) and several other dangers but is able to overcome them. On a particular desk within this school that was the desk of Alessa Gillespie, the word, "Witch" is scrawled into it.
