The Pleasant Street School is an historic school building at 54 Pleasant Street in Spencer, Massachusetts. The two story Victorial Eclectic brick building was designed by the Worcester firm of Fuller & Delano, and built in 1883 by J. D. Morton. It follows a cruciform plan, with a large pavilion projecting from the main facade. The paired main entrances (one for boys, one for girls) are on the sides of this projecting section.[1]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996, and was included in the 2003 expansion of the Spencer Town Center Historic District.[2]
