Zip code 67867 has one elementary school, Montezuma Elementary, serving prekindergarten through fifth grade and enrolling 83 students.

Within the school, science and ELA stand out positively against Kansas, while math—especially in the upper grades—stands out as the weakest area.

SchoolDigger’s ranking moved from 146th of 653 schools (78th percentile, four stars) in 2023–24 to 328th of 657 (50th percentile, three stars) in 2025–26. Attendance is a favorable observation: chronic absenteeism was 3%, versus 10% districtwide and 18% statewide; the school’s student–teacher ratio was 10, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 31%. With only one school in the ZIP code, these figures cannot show how it compares with other local schools.
