Dunbar School, Colonial Revival school building in Fairmont, United States

Dunbar School is a two-story school building on a slope in Fairmont, with an exposed basement section on its west elevation. It is built of buff-colored brick in Flemish Garden Wall bond. The east elevation has five large windows lighting the gymnasium. Architect William B. Ittner also designed Fairmont's Thomas C. Miller Public School and Fairmont Senior High School.

Dunbar School was built in 1928 and held its first classes in January 1929. It was the only school for Black children in Fairmont and the only Black high school in Marion County, teaching grades one through twelve. Its last year as a high school was 1954–55, when federally mandated desegregation ended that role; low enrollment closed the primary grades in 1956. It reopened in 1963 as an annex to Fairmont Junior High School, later served as an elementary school, and closed permanently in 2007. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.

The school is named after Paul Laurence Dunbar, one of the first Black writers to build a national reputation. It lost the Dunbar name in 1963, when it became an annex to Fairmont Junior High School, but Fairmont residents petitioned the Board of Education and the name was restored in 1970.

Dunbar School stands on a slope, so its west elevation shows two stories plus an exposed basement while the east side meets the ground more directly. The gymnasium is lit by five large windows on the east elevation. The building was permanently closed in 2007, so it is viewed from the exterior only.
