Y’know, Elk City is served by a state highway, and gets pretty regular service from the ITD snow plows.  I think it’s pretty rare that you *can’t* get there.
 
Not that I’m speaking for or against any of these education reforms, but sheesh, it is a relatively accessible place.  I think First Step has even made some pretty good inroads to that area with high-speed and wireless service (they’re everywhere!).
 
Going beyond Elk City, now you might be talking about some difficulty.

A friend told me years ago... Back in the day... *laugh* not sure of the EXACT date, once a student in Elk City became high school age, they would attend high school in Grangeville. This would consist of finding a family to live with, then, going home on weekends.
