The District Four School is an historic school at 1515 West Shore Road in Warwick, Rhode Island. The 2-1/2 story wood frame building was designed by William R.

It was used as a public school until c. 1940, and was either vacant or occupied by social service agencies in the following decades.[2] It has been converted to residential use.
