Skull Valley Elementary School is a public school in Skull Valley, Arizona, currently offering grades K-6. The school has operated for years with two teachers and generally 20-30 students.

The school district has leased land to the Skull Valley Historical Society, which has a museum next door to the school, and the historical school building itself is a significant historical structure in the area.

As of the 2003 census, the population in the Skull Valley Elementary School District was 525 people.

Historical significance

Although official records do not indicate this, area settlers recall that a school was established in 1878. The school had been formally established by the early 1900s, when it offered education to children in all of the grades.

The two-room schoolhouse structure built in 1925 still stands on the school grounds.

Despite extensive consolidations over time in Yavapai County, Arizona, Skull Valley still has a school. The new/current elementary school building sits on the same land, next to the historical schoolhouse. Currently, students above the 8th grade are bussed to Prescott to attend high school.
