The John R. Rollins School is a historic school at 451 Howard Street in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The three story brick structure was built in 1892 in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, and is a prominent feature of the Prospect Hill neighborhood, visible from nearby Interstate 495. It is named for John Rodman Rollins (1817-1892), a local politician who served both as mayor and superintendent of schools.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1] It is still in use as a school.[3]
