Alamo’s public schools outscore 98% of Tennessee districts

On the state math tests, 51% of Alamo’s students scored proficient, above the Tennessee average (31%). The grade covers the public school district serving Alamo, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Tennessee, not nationally.

From Tennessee state tests taken in spring 2022, when 100% of students in the tested grades sat them, and the class of 2020’s four-year graduation rate, as reported to the U.S. Department of Education.
