The 67352 zip code has only one elementary school, Elk Valley Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 67 students. The school's performance has been consistently below the state average, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%.

The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 80.6% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the high spending per student of $21,834 in the 2018-2019 school year, the academic performance data suggests that the resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. The student-teacher ratio is 14.1 for the 2023-2024 school year, which is relatively low compared to the state average.
Overall, the data indicates that Elk Valley Elementary is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and low statewide ranking suggest that it may be an area of concern for the local community and education authorities, and further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the underlying issues and improve the school's performance.
