Old Jupiter School (aka Jupiter Elementary School, Historic Jupiter School) is a historic landmark located in Jupiter, Florida.[1] The school was constructed in 1927 to serve approximately 100 white-only students and served as the area's primary school until 1965.[2][3]

The school is owned and managed by the Palm Beach County School Board, who restored the interior of the building in 2006 at a cost of $6.4 million.[4][5] The county continues to discuss more renovations in the future.[6][7]

The building was designed by architect William Manly King, who designed all Palm Beach County schools built in the 1920s. The facility is architecturally described as a Mediterranean Revival.[8]
