Division A

''For the middle school competition, see Division B. For the high school competition, see Division C.''

Division A, also known as Elementary Science Olympiad (ESO), is for elementary school age students, grades K-6. In this division, non-competitive Fun Days and Fun Nights are run for all grades, and Competitive Tournaments are run for grades 3-6.

Division A is not as widespread as Divisions B or C, and as of 2019 there are no State or National-level Division A tournaments.
