The School Addition Historic District encompasses a middle-class residential area of Batesville, Arkansas that typifies its growth between about 1850 and 1950. It is located between Main Street and , along two blocks each of Rock and Water Streets (offset to give the district the shape of a parallelogram), and the intervening blocks of 7th and 8th Streets. Houses in this area are generally of a modest scale, built for tradesmen and craftsmen. They come in a variety of styles, including the traditional I-house, American Craftsman-style bungalows, and ranches. The district was platted out in 1849 and sold off by the town to raise funds for public education.[2]

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1] It includes two previously-listed properties: the Glenn House, and the Wycough–Jones House.[2]
