Wagoner Grade School (a.k.a. Central Elementary School) is located at the corner of 2nd and Lee In Wagoner. This is a one-story red brick building which is currently painted cream color. The building is U-shaped, with the facade facing north and the wings extending to the south. There is a partial, exposed basement level on the two north-south wings. The roof is flat and the upper walls have been covered with a red metal siding. The original ribbon triple window units have been partially filled with metal siding, leaving the center third as a two-over-two double hung window.
The exterior walls have stepped horizontal bands of brick, with rounded corners. The entrance on the north side is recessed. A bronze WPA shield, mounted at the time of construction, is located under the windows on the front of the building and reads "USA 1937-1938 WPA".
A flat concrete stone is also embedded in the east wall of the school documenting its construction in 1938 and reads:
