Healy Elem is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Healy Public Schools school district, located in Healy, KS with about 37 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.

The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
