Overall, Wheeler County has only one elementary school, which appears to be performing below average compared to other schools in the state, with some bright spots in certain grade levels and subjects. The school's high poverty rate and significant investment of resources indicate both challenges and opportunities for improvement in the academic outcomes of its students.
