Early classes in the Tokio area were held in the ranch house of the J Cross Ranch near the turn of the century. In 1911, a school building was constructed near the center of town, about 300 feet north, and classes were relocated. Larger school buildings were later erected, once because of fire and twice because of changing space needs. The school facilities continued to serve the community's educational as well as religious and civic needs until 1941, when Tokio School was consolidated with the Brownfield Independent School District.
