School Reviews
| 5 I've had at least one student in Alcoa City Schools for the past 10 years, from the elementary school to the high school. The school system is second to none! We moved to the City of Alcoa to guarantee our children would be able to attend Alcoa City schools, not having to worry about waiting lists and tuition. The smaller size of the school system was the first to draw us to the school district. Before moving, we visited the high school unannounced while classes were changing, and were incredibly impressed with the student conduct and teacher interaction. There is none other so impressive as the new high school that opened in 2015 to include the best in advanced technology. Of course, the rich heritage in athletics drew us as well. Generations of families continue to attend Alcoa which tells me, once you become a part of the Alcoa Tornado family, you never want to leave. I'm thankful every school year that we made the decision to move to this school system. - Posted by Parent - Proud Parent of Alcoa City Schools |
