Welcome to Mountain City Elementary School. Our faculty and our staff provide students and parents with an inviting atmosphere where our goal is to assist students to become the best and the brightest in Tennessee. Our school houses Head Start through the sixth grade. We offer our students a balanced academic program in our core curriculum with a strong emphasis on reading and language arts. Our school also offers students many after school programs for enrichment and tutoring. Mountain City Elementary students have many services available to them throughout the school day. These include:  Title I services, special education services, full-time nursing care, and a part-time counselor.

     Students and teachers at our school have been working very hard improving reading and math scores. We have invested in the Accelerated Reading program and provided additional assistance in 6th grade math. Besides improving academics, our students and faculty have been busy implementing the "Character Counts" program at our school. This a nationally recognized program that focuses on character education. Our faculty and staff feel that educating students for responsible citizenship is part of our responsibility to children. Our school has begun a renewed focus on technology as an instructional tool. Teachers and students are offered more access to technology and to the Internet. Our school offers classes for teachers and parents and strives to be a working partner in technology education within our community.

     We feel that we offer students, teachers, and parents a safe learning environment. It is our goal to assist students in meeting their academic and personal potential. We appreciate you visiting our school's web site and invite you to come visit us personally here in the mountains of East Tennessee .
