The Summerfield School, located off US 271 in Summerfield, Oklahoma, USA, was built in 1937 as a Works Progress Administration project. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]

It is a single-story hipped-roof four-room 421-by-72-foot (128 by 22 m) building built of native sandstone. Its design is from an Oklahoma State Dept. of Education pattern book.[2]

It was deemed significant because its construction provided jobs, for providing a better learning environment for children, and for its architectural uniqueness within its community.[2]
