Education Deep River is home to four schools, for students from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12: - T.W. Morison Public School - for students JK to grade 4
- Keys Public School - no longer "exists", used to house students JK to grade 8. At the end of the 2004-2005 school year, Keys Public School was officially closed down due to budget cuts in the school board. The Junior half of Keys (grades 5 and 6) was moved to Morison Public School, and the Intermediate half (grades 7 and 8) joined Mackenzie, separated by name only (though Mackenzie students are not allowed in the Keys Wing). It was predicted Morison would close down at the end of the 2006-2007 school year (for same above mentioned reasons) and would join Mackenzie High School as well, but is now open indefinitely for an unspecified length of time.
- Mackenzie High School - for students grades 9 to 12 (now houses Keys Public School)
- St. Mary's Catholic School - for students JK to grade 8
