West School is a historic school building at 404 Garfield Street in Stoughton, Wisconsin. The school was built in 1886; it was the first of several schools Stoughton built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to accommodate its rapidly growing population. The two-story brick building has an Italianate design with a segmental arched entrance and matching first-floor windows, semicircular arched windows on the second floor, brick belt courses, and a hipped roof with a wide dormer. As school overcrowding continued to be a problem even after the later construction of the East and South Schools, Stoughton elected to expand the West School in 1905; builder John Holmstad placed a matching addition on the building's west side that gave the school four new classrooms. Stoughton continued to use the school until 1982; it has since been converted to apartments.^[2]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 22, 1992.^[1]
