The 24970 zip code area is home to two schools - Eastern Greenbrier Middle School and Ronceverte Elementary, both part of the Greenbrier County Schools district.

While both schools spend a relatively high amount per student, with Ronceverte Elementary spending $13,135 per student and Eastern Greenbrier Middle School spending $11,677 per student, this higher spending does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes.
