In rural Nevada, a one-room schoolhouse has educated generations of residents since the early 1950s.

@anitasnews reports from the village of Duckwater. nbcnews.to/2qljciw (1/6)
@anitasnews Only 16 students attend the Duckwater School, an updated version of a frontier days relic: the one-room schoolhouse. The students at the school, range from pre-K to 8th grade. (2/6)
@anitasnews Lyn Huston, 53, the sole teacher at Duckwater also receives help from 2 aides who work with the students in small groups.

One aide doubles as the school’s bus driver, while the other is also the custodian. (3/6)
@anitasnews “We all have to wear a lot of different hats to keep things running,” says Randi Bradshaw, 38, who is a teaching aide for the 1st-through-3rd graders and the custodian. She’s also a parent — her children, Jackson and Bailey, 11, attend the school. (4/6)
@anitasnews This year, the Duckwater School’s elementary portion received 5 stars, the state’s highest rating for public schools. “Just because we live in these small communities doesn’t mean our kids should be at a disadvantage,” says Jeni Dick, whose 3 kids attend Duckwater. (5/6)
“We become a family that has a lot of interest in the success of each member, and we become a family who has an interest in each person’s well-being,” Huston says. “Every person has value.” #NBCNewsThreads (6/6)
