In the 1980s, Tampico lost its main railroad, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy route, that was the reason Tampico became a settlement like most other small towns. Declining enrollment and financial concerns led to the closing of Tampico High School in 1996. The 1921 brick building was torn down during the summer of 2012 as part of a district wide facility improvement plan.. As of 2021, the old football field is still there, along with the padded hitting machine which is now rusted. The track outside of the field is still there in dirt form. High School students from Tampico now attend Prophetstown High School, twelve miles to the northwest.
