Presently Teasley is home to children in grades K-5.

Teasley has always been known for its unique family-oriented atmosphere. Parents and students have indicated an appreciation for the small school size, for the acceptance by others, and for the caring staff. Teasley takes great pride in supporting the overall welfare of its family member, whether it is students or staff. It is this sense of a neighborhood school that makes Teasley unique.
