"Scholl end zone" words grouping

Is it school-end zone or school end-zone?

No big deal, but I've been thinking about it. Thanks in advance.

RaenIs it school-end zone or school end-zone?
I assume you are talking about the school's football field. That is, it is the zone at the end of the football field used by that school.

the school end zone and the school's end zone are both used. (No hyphen.) (Check Google.)

The grouping, but not the spelling, is school ('s)

I laughed out LOUD at your question. Because you're probably right. To be honest, I'm not sure what it is now, maybe I should drive my car out to the school just to double check. It's a sign posted on the side of the stree a school is located on to signal drivers to resume normal speed.

Sorry about this, CJ. Unless I get it straightened out. All your help could very well have been for no

If it was a street sign, then it was most likely

END SCHOOL ZONE

to match the other sign:

BEGIN SCHOOL ZONE (or just SCHOOL ZONE)

These are equivalent to RESUME SPEED and REDUCE SPEED, respectively.
