The 69155 zip code has only one elementary school, Paxton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the Paxton Consolidated Schools district. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 138 out of 442 Nebraska elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 323 out of 459 in 2022-2023.
Paxton Elementary School's test scores are mixed, with some grades performing above the state average in ELA and math, while others are significantly below.
