One-room school One-room schools were commonplace throughout rural portions of various countries including the United States , Canada , Australia , New Zealand , United Kingdom and Ireland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In most rural (country) and small town schools, all of the students met in a single room. T, a single teacher taught academic basics to five to eight grade levels of elementary-age boys and girls.
