Contents

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. [3]

Garfield Elementary feeds into Lingle Middle School and Rogers Heritage High School. [4]

History

Garfield Elementary School (the institution, not the building) was established in 1885. [5]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. [2]

The district researched the possibility of making the school compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act. The district staff wrote in a report in 2019 that doing so for Garfield Elementary would be "beyond expensive". [6]

A person who owned property in Garfield agreed to donate 20 acres (8.1 ha) to the Rogers School District so it could build a new facility, though the district has not yet determined if it wants to build a replacement facility on that site. The school district plans to close the existing Garfield school building and move students to another building that is scheduled to begin operations in 2024. [6]
