The Middlebrook Schools are a pair of historic public school buildings located at Middlebrook, Augusta County, Virginia. The original school building was built in 1916 and expanded in 1919. A separate high school was built adjacent to it in 1922–1923, and an agriculture shop building was added in the 1930s. The original school is an L-shaped, two-story building consisting of two front rooms and a south ell room, with a one-room plan, two-story addition creating a square plan. It has a hipped roof and vernacular Colonial Revival style entrance. The interior also reflects the Colonial Revival style. The school closed in 1967.[3]

Both buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
