Spanish term or phrase: escuela unitaria
"La concentración de trabajadores y sus familias favoreció la creación de una escuela donde estudiaban los hijos. También acudían a ella los niños de las aldeas más próximas, como Nimo, Pastoriza, O Mato y Castro Lampreeiro, todas ellas de la parroquia de Santa María de Roo. Recorrían a diario los caminos que llegaban hasta la escuela, por lo que estos parajes quedaron grabados en la memoria colectiva de los vecinos. Esta ***escuela unitaria*** estuvo en funcionamiento hasta la década de 1970."

El único término que he encontrado es "single room school". ¿Hay alguna otra opción equivalente para este tipo de escuela?

¡Gracias!

one-room school
Explanation:
Es el nombre según Wikipedia:

One-room schools were commonplace throughout rural portions of various countries, including Prussia, Norway, Sweden, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Spain. In most rural (country) and small town schools, all of the students met in a single room. There, a single teacher taught academic basics to several grade levels of elementary-age boys and girls. While in many areas one-room schools are no longer used, it is not uncommon for them to remain in developing nations and rural or remote areas. Examples include remote parts of the American West, the Falklands, and the Shetland Islands.
