About Alamo Elementary

Alamo Elementary serves 607 students from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade as a regular public school in Alamo, Tennessee. It earns a composite score of 8.9 out of 10 — rated Excellent — anchored by a 9.7 academic score and a 9.2 growth score. Both figures reflect sustained, measurable progress across grade levels, not just a single strong cohort.

With a 15.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio, the school maintains classroom access well within norms for a public elementary of its size. The statewide standing is what separates Alamo Elementary from the pack. It ranks #74 out of 1,785 public schools in Tennessee, outperforming 96% of schools across the state.

Narrowed to the elementary tier — 1,002 schools — it climbs to #61, placing it comfortably in the top 7% of its direct peer group. It also holds the top spot among the three public schools serving Alamo. For parents comparing elementary options, the combination of high academic scores and strong growth numbers matters.

Academic strength shows where students are; growth shows where the school is taking them. Alamo Elementary scores well on both — a pairing that is harder to find than either figure alone suggests.

What Parents Should Know

Located in a rural area, Alamo Elementary may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
