Two Rivers School District serves the area.[4] [5] It operates two schools: Two Rivers Elementary School and Two Rivers High School.
Previously it was assigned to the Fourche Valley School, a K-12 school,[6] operated by the Fourche Valley School District. On July 1, 2004, the Fourche Valley district merged into the Two Rivers district.[7] The merged district continued to operate the Fourche Valley School until 2009, when the majority of the members of the district board voted to close it.[8] Students were reassigned to Plainview-Rover Elementary School and Plainview-Rover High School.[9] In 2010 the latter closed due to the opening of the consolidated Two Rivers High School,[10] and the Plainview-Rover elementary consolidated into Two Rivers Elementary in 2012.[11]
