The Central School, at 10304 N. 83rd Avenue, is a historic two-room school in Peoria, Arizona. It was built in 1906, in Mission Revival architecture and Spanish Revival architecture.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

Its two classrooms are each 39 by 25 feet (11.9 m × 7.6 m) and are separated by an 11 feet (3.4 m) central hall.

Museum and dissolution

It was occupied by the Peoria Arizona Historical Society Museum, also known as the Peoria Central School Museum, which was operated by the Peoria Arizona Historical Society. The city spent $19,000 securing artifacts of the PAHS and arranging for an inventory to be completed. The Society was dissolved in 2017, due to a dispute over control between two groups of members. In July 2019, it was stated that the two groups had refused arbitration, and that the PAHS's lease with the city was terminated. The museum was closed as a result.
