Classes for the pupils of the Janko Jesenský Elementary School in Jesenské take place in two buildings. The main school building was built in 1924 and originally served as the seat of the District Office in Jesenské. Since 1951, it housed a Slovak secondary school.

Construction of the second school building at Školská Street No. 250 began in 1930, and it was opened for use in 1931. Originally, it housed a national school. Currently, primary-level elementary school pupils (grades 1–4) are taught in this building.

In 2002, the elementary school gained legal subjectivity and became an independent legal entity.

Currently, it is a member of the National Network of Health Promoting Schools in the Slovak Republic. It provides education for pupils in grades 1–9 and pupils with intellectual disabilities.

The school is attended by pupils from Jesenské and 20 catchment municipalities. Pupils have access to a library, a computer lab, a language lab, and an after-school club (ŠKD).

As part of extracurricular activities, the following clubs operate at the school:

Primary level (Grades 1–4):

• Reading club
• Folklore club – Lipka I.
• Dance club – Romale
• Arts and crafts club
• English conversation club I.

Lower secondary level (Grades 5–9):

• Folklore club – Lipka II.
• Math club
• Slovak through play
• Computer club
• Sports club
• English conversation club II.
• Table tennis

The school organizes various events with either a cultural or sports focus.

Construction of the former National School building (which currently houses the primary level) began in 1930, and the new building was opened for use in 1931.

At that time, the multi-story school building housed 2 classrooms, the principal's office, a teachers' office, and the school principal's apartment.
