Summary: The one-room schoolhouse may seem like a distant memory from US history, but about 200 of them still exist today, including tiny Valley Elementary School in Cody, Wyoming. It has only six students, but in Wyoming, education funding is redistributed so that students can have access to similar resources, no matter how small or remote their location. Mason Baum of Student Reporting Labs has the story.
