Crimora School, also known as Crimora Grammar School, is a historic public school building located at Crimora, Augusta County, Virginia. The original section was built in 1927, and is a brick building consisting of an auditorium/gymnasium as the core of the building with rectangular gabled blocks on either side containing two rooms with the projecting gable ends. It is in a Vernacular Bungalow style. The school was subsequently expanded in the 1930s and in 1942. In 1954-55, the school was again enlarged with a large brick veneer rear addition containing six classrooms, a cafeteria, teacher's lounge, library and office.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
