Viborg-Hurley Elementary - 02 is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Viborg, South Dakota, part of the Viborg-Hurley School District 60-6. With 154 students and a student-teacher ratio of around 14-15, the school generally outperforms the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates across grade levels.
