Arcola Elementary School is a historic elementary school building located at Arcola, Loudoun County, Virginia. It was originally built in 1939, as a six-room, one-story, Colonial Revival style school as part of the Public Works Administration building campaign. It has a hipped roof and projecting central pavilion with pediment frontispiece and recessed entrance. Flanking classroom wings were added in 1939, 1951, and 1956. It remained in use as a school into the 1970s, when it was re-opened as the Arcola Community Center.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1]
