Summary

Alamo Elementary School is a PK–6 public school in Alamo, Tennessee, serving approximately 600 students as part of the Alamo City School district. The school has earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the 87th percentile of Tennessee elementary schools — 132nd out of 1,019 schools statewide. This is not a one-year fluke: Alamo has ranked in the 81st–88th percentile for five consecutive school years. The district itself is rated 5 stars and ranks 8th out of 141 Tennessee districts.

Academically, Alamo outperforms the state in every tested subject and grade level. In the most recent TNReady results, 64.7% of students scored proficient in math and 65.4% in English language arts, compared to state averages of 43.0% and 40.6%. Third-grade ELA proficiency stands at 73.0% versus 44.9% statewide. Alamo also keeps students in class: its chronic absenteeism rate is just 6.2%, roughly one-third of the state average of 18.3%. Nearby East Elementary and Friendship Elementary report absenteeism rates around 18–19%. Alamo achieves these results efficiently, spending about $12,151 per student while schools like Spring Hill Elementary spend $17,733 and rank lower. Bells Elementary, just 4.3 miles away, ranks in the 47th percentile with 41.1% math proficiency, compared to Alamo's 87th percentile and 64.7%. Among nearby peers, Maury City Elementary and Gadsden Elementary come closest, but Alamo's ELA proficiency is dramatically higher than both.

Alamo serves its students well across nearly every demographic group, with strong rankings for African American, Hispanic, White, low-income, male, and female students. The school has also shown steady improvement, climbing from the 63rd percentile in 2016–2017 to the 87th today, and social studies proficiency surged from 33.3% to 58.8% in three years. The one area to watch is special education, where results have been volatile from year to year. Overall, Alamo Elementary stands out as one of the strongest and most consistently excellent schools in West Tennessee, proving that high performance is achievable in a small rural community.
