From Wikipedia:

Garfield Elementary School (Garfield, Arkansas)

The Garfield Elementary School is a historic school building on United States Route 62 in Garfield, Arkansas, near its junction with Arkansas Highway 127. It is a public elementary school of Rogers Public Schools.

It is a single-story rusticated stone building, built in 1941 to replace a nearby building which had fallen into disrepair. It is a T-shaped structure, with a long east–west section housing offices and classrooms, and a projecting auditorium to the rear. The prominent features of the main façade are two projecting castellated entrance porticos, which have raised parapets, and segmented-arch openings.

Garfield Elementary feeds into Lingle Middle School and Rogers Heritage High School.
