Coal Gap School is a historic school building located near Larue, Arkansas. The wood frame school was built in 1928 to serve Benton County School District 105. The school served the rural area around Larue; it was built during a period of economic transition for Larue, which had historically been an orchard farming community but was turning to grain farming and animal husbandry. In the 1960s, the creation of Beaver Lake separated the school from Larue.[2]
Coal Gap School was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 1992.[1]
