Summary

Tallassee Elementary School serves 609 students in Pre-K through 4th grade in Tallassee, AL, as part of the Tallassee City district, which ranks in the 61st percentile statewide.

This school's standout strength is its exceptional support for special education students, ranking in the 68th percentile in 2025-2026 and reaching the 75th percentile the prior year—a metric where many schools struggle. Tallassee also shows remarkable momentum in 4th grade math, with proficiency jumping from 29% in 2023-2024 to 48.25% in 2025-2026, now beating the state average by over 6 points. The school maintains a favorable 15.6:1 student-to-teacher ratio, notably lower than nearby Halcyon Elementary School (19.8:1) and Wares Ferry Elementary School (19.7:1), suggesting more individualized attention. Chronic absenteeism has also improved dramatically, dropping from 34.7% in 2022-2023 to 12.1% in 2024-2025, now matching the state average and beating several nearby schools like Garrett Elementary School (17.0%).

While Tallassee outperforms most Montgomery County schools by a wide margin—for instance, Wares Ferry Elementary School ranks in the 3rd percentile with only 19.67% of 3rd graders proficient in math versus Tallassee's 49.48%—it lags behind high-performing Elmore County schools like Redland Elementary School (83rd percentile) and Eclectic Elementary School (79th percentile). English Language Arts proficiency sits slightly below state averages in both 3rd and 4th grades, though the school's science scores align with state norms. Spending $9,260 per student, Tallassee achieves better outcomes than higher-spending Macon County schools like DC Wolfe School ($13,524 per student), indicating efficient resource use. Overall, Tallassee Elementary is a solid mid-tier school on an upward trajectory, particularly in math, with a proven ability to serve diverse learners effectively.
