Barguna Zilla School is a renowned boys' school in the southern region of Bangladesh. It was established in 1927 under the name Barguna M.E. (Middle English) School and was nationalized in 1970, when it was renamed Barguna Zilla School. It is regarded as the best school in Barguna District. The school currently offers education from class one to class ten and also operates an open education system.
In 1927, Md. Ramzan Ali Akon, an education enthusiast and social worker, who was the first metric pass and Entrance I.S.C.

In 1934, Abdul Majid Mia (B.A., B.T.) joined as headmaster. In 1938, the school was upgraded to a high school.
