This former national school is of apparent architectural design and detailing. The building is enhanced by the retention of many original features and materials, such as the patterned slate roofs, cast-iron finials and name plaques which read: 'Drumbaragh' and 'N. Schools. 'The paired entrances clearly articulate the separate entrances and classrooms for girls and boys, which were a common feature of the educational system in Ireland in the nineteenth century.
