The Bates School is a historic former school building at 1074 Bates School Road in Bates, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick building with a hip roof and Colonial Revival styling. Its main facade has a central entrance in a recessed segmented-arch opening, which is flanked on either side by windows set in similar openings. At the second level there are four windows two directly above the lower flanking windows, and two above the entrance. A cupola is set near the base of the roof above the entrance; it is square, louvered on all sides, and topped by a pyramidal roof. The school was built in about 1916, and was in use serving as a public school until 1964.[2]
