• Amagi Railway Amagi Line: Kogan'chaya ⇄ Goromaru

Gakkōmae Station opened on 15 October 1915 as Miyanojin-Gakkomae on the Mitsui Electric Tramway, taking its name from a nearby elementary school. The operator merged with the Kyushu Railway in 1924, and after further mergers in September 1942 the line passed to the newly-renamed Nishi-Nippon Railway. The station was shortened to Gakkōmae on 31 December 1939, and the station building was rebuilt in 1968. Until recently it was unusual in the Tenjin-Ōmuta network for being directly staffed by Nishitetsu retirees and used for ticket-clerk training; that arrangement ended with full unstaffing on 22 March 2014. Station numbering (A10) followed in 2017, and remote management arrived on 1 April 2021. A single island platform serves two tracks.

Until 2014, this was the last directly-staffed station on Nishitetsu's Tenjin-Ōmuta network and the only one used to train ticket clerks on the company's railway-school course.
