Summary

Alcoa Intermediate School serves 476 students in grades 3–5 in Alcoa, Tennessee, as part of the highly rated Alcoa City Schools district, which ranks 13th out of 141 districts statewide. The school has climbed dramatically in recent years, from the 40th percentile in 2017–2018 to the 83rd percentile (4 stars) in 2025–2026 — ranking 174th out of 1,019 elementary schools in Tennessee. Chronic absenteeism is just 8.4%, less than half the state average of 18.3%, and the student-teacher ratio is a comfortable 14.7 to 1.

On 2025–2026 state tests, Alcoa Intermediate School students outpaced state averages by wide margins: 62.3% scored proficient in math versus 43% statewide, 56.3% in English language arts versus 40.6%, and 56.8% in science versus 46.9%. The school also outperforms most nearby Blount County Schools, including Rockford Elementary School, Eagleton Elementary School, and Fairview Elementary School, often by 15–20 points in math and reading. Porter Elementary School is the only nearby Blount County school with slightly higher scores. That said, Alcoa Intermediate still trails the elite Maryville City Schools elementary cluster — Foothills Elementary School and Sam Houston Elementary School rank in the 91st–97th percentile and lead by 10–20 points per subject.

What makes this improvement particularly noteworthy is that gains have been broadly shared. African American students rank in the 80th percentile statewide, and special education students in the 79th — both well above typical patterns. The main areas to watch are English Language Learners (47th percentile) and Hispanic students (47th percentile), who lag behind the school's overall performance. The school spends about $13,966 per student, mid-range among peers, and delivers stronger results than several schools that spend more. With 4th graders showing particular strength in math (67.5% proficient) and ELA (60.3%), and 3rd grade showing room for targeted support, Alcoa Intermediate is a school clearly on the rise with momentum to build on.
