Bankokwittayakarn School was originally named Prachaban School, Dong Daeng Subdistrict (Wat Ban Kok). It was established in 1922 (B.E. 2465), offering classes from Prathom 1 to Prathom 4. Mr. Sila Choengsa-at served as the first headmaster. Students from Ban Khwao, Ban Ngu Lueam, and Ban Phue Hi villages commuted to study together at the Wat Ban Kok pavilion.
1928 (B.E. 2471): The pavilion was dismantled and rebuilt on land donated by a benefactor. Currently, this site has been excavated into a fishpond, located on the way to Ban Khwao village.
1938 (B.E. 2481): A forest fire broke out and completely burned down the school building. Consequently, the school was relocated back to Wat Ban Kok.
1943 (B.E. 2486): A budget was allocated to construct a new school building on donated land. However, World War II broke out before completion, leading to a suspension of the budget. Classes continued at Wat Ban Kok. Later, Ban Ngu Lueam and Ban Phue Hi separated to form their own schools.
1975 (B.E. 2518): Teachers and the Ban Kok community collaborated to construct a new elevated school building with 4 classrooms at Wat Ban Kok. Mr. Thongnak Wichiansri served as the headmaster.

Villagers and teachers secured a new location separate from the temple and began constructing a new building (the school's current location).
