These schools serve a predominantly white student population, with low percentages of minority students. Among the standout schools in this area is Eureka Elementary School, which outperformed the state average in mathematics and reading proficiency. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4, which may contribute to its academic success.

Lincoln County High School has seen significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, moving from 94 out of 138 high schools in 2020-2021 to 36 out of 114 in 2021-2022, before dropping to 85 out of 124 in 2022-2023.

The student-teacher ratios across the schools in the 59917 zip code area vary, with Eureka Middle School 5-8 having the highest ratio at 18.1. This suggests that resource allocation and staffing may be an area for further investigation to ensure equitable access to quality education. Additionally, the lack of free/reduced lunch rate data makes it difficult to fully assess the socioeconomic status of the student populations and how that may impact academic performance.
