The Ruleton School, in Sherman County, Kansas near Goodland, is a historic school that was built in 1928.

It includes Modern Movement architecture and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places

It was deemed historically significant for its usage as a school and as a community center in its community of Ruleton. It was built after a bond vote to raise $22,500 was passed by vote of 44 to 26, on March 17, 1928

A tornado wrecked part of it June 8, 1941. Five months later, the community celebrated the school's reopening. Sadly, the rebuilt school only saw two more graduating classes. Class of 1943 were the final Ruleton Bulldog graduates. The grade school remained open until 1965.
