Two Rivers School District serves the area. 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,[5] operated by the Fourche Valley School District. On July 1, 2004, the Fourche Valley district merged into the Two Rivers district.[6] 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.[7] Students were reassigned to Plainview-Rover Elementary School and Plainview-Rover High School.[8] In 2010 the latter closed due to the opening of the consolidated Two Rivers High School,[9] and the Plainview-Rover elementary consolidated into Two Rivers Elementary in 2012.[10]
