Summary

Alpha Elementary is a public elementary school in Morristown, Tennessee, serving 594 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Hamblen County school district, which is ranked 69 out of 139 districts in the state.

Alpha Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of elementary schools in Tennessee, with students performing significantly better than the Hamblen County and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Alpha Elementary's proficiency rates were 64% in Mathematics, 60.9% in English Language Arts, and 58.3% in Science, compared to the Hamblen County averages of 43%, 37.4%, and 45.6%, respectively. The school also excels in serving its diverse student population, ranking among the top 10 in Tennessee for both African American and Hispanic students in Mathematics and English Language Arts, as well as for its Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status student groups.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Hamblen County district, Union Heights Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary, which are both within 8 miles of Alpha Elementary, have significantly lower proficiency rates and statewide rankings. This suggests that Alpha Elementary is providing a high-quality education that is not consistently replicated across the district. While the school's overall performance is impressive, its chronic absenteeism rate has been a concern, ranging from 16.1% to 20.2% in recent years, which the school may need to address to further enhance its academic outcomes and student success.
