There are two local school districts providing elementary education and three other school districts within a 30 minute drive of Fort Hood.
Elementary schools include grades pre-kindergarten through five. Pre-kindergarten classes focus on socialization and developing a love for learning through language arts, math and physical education. Reading, science, social studies and fine arts are added in grades kindergarten through three. Health is added to the curriculum at grades four and five. Students' progress is reported to the families of elementary students through parent conferences. Fort Hood leadership cooperates in this effort by allowing soldiers with students to regard the schools as their place of duty during the conference period. Several other area businesses give employees paid time off for the conferences.
