Did Buchanan go to elementary school?

James Buchanan, the 15th U.S. President, did attend school as a child. While the exact structure of education at the time differed from modern elementary schools, he received his early education in a manner comparable to what we would now consider elementary schooling. He didn't attend a formal elementary school in the modern sense, but he had a basic education in reading, writing, and arithmetic during his formative years.
