The Scranton School District in Arkansas has one elementary school, Scranton Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade.

Scranton Elementary School has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in mathematics and reading for certain grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 49.7% in mathematics and 42.7% in reading, compared to the Arkansas averages of 38.7% and 35.3%, respectively. However, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (40.6%) and Science (37.8%) were below the state averages of 34.7% and 38.1%.
