The city of Campo, California has only one public elementary school, Campo Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is part of the Mountain Empire Unified School District.

The school also serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 54.01% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
