The Kiblah School is a historic school building in rural Miller County, Arkansas. It is located southeast of Doddridge, at the junction of County Roads 4 and 192, between United States Route 71 and the Red River. The building is a single-story L-shaped wood-frame structure, topped by a gable-on-hip roof. It has modest Craftsman styling, with some Greek Revival influences. The main entrance is sheltered by a hip-roofed porch supported by Craftsman-style columns. It has a transom window reminiscent of Greek Revival doorways. The school was built in 1927 with funding from the Rosenwald Fund (although it was not built to a standard Rosenwald plan), and was intended to serve the African-American community of Kiblah, which was established after the American Civil War by former slaves from a Louisiana plantation.^[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.^[1]
