The Griffithville School was a historic school building, located on the south side of Arkansas Highway 11 on the west side of Griffithville, Arkansas. Built in 1939, it was the community's only school, and was a fine example of a Craftsman-style school built with Works Progress Administration funding. It was a rectangular frame structure, finished in brick veneer and capped by a gable-on-hip roof with exposed rafter ends in the eaves. Entrances were sheltered by gable-roofed porches supported by brick piers.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1] It has been listed as destroyed in the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program database.[3]
