The 57772 zip code area is home to two elementary schools, Rockyford School - 03 and Pahin Sinte Owayawa School, both serving predominantly Native American student populations.

Rockyford School - 03 has a student population that is 94.19% Native American, while Pahin Sinte Owayawa School is 100% Native American.

The economic challenges faced by these schools are also significant, with Rockyford School - 03 having a 100% free and reduced lunch rate and Pahin Sinte Owayawa School at 97.73%.
