It is in the Yarnell Elementary School District, [5] which operates Model Creek School.

After the 8th grade, students move on to Prescott High School of the Prescott Unified School District. Previously students could choose between that school and Wickenburg High School of the Wickenburg Unified School District, but in order to reduce taxes, the district board removed the Wickenburg option in November 2018. [6]

For a period of time the Peeples Valley School District sent students to the Yarnell district, as the former did not operate any schools. On July 1, 1980, the Yarnell district absorbed the Peeples Valley district. [7]
