2019 Best Elementary Schools in the Montgomery AreaAbout this List

The Montgomery Academy

• Private School
• Montgomery, AL
• K-12
• 60

Parent: Academically, this school is leaps and bounds above the other area schools. The Lower School is unparalleled, it’s that exceptional. The Middle School is great. They do a nice job transitioning students from the Lower School to the rigorous demands of the Upper School. The Upper School could use some refinement. Classes are tough. Teaching is great. However, the student body lacks school spirit and there is no equal opportunity for leadership roles. If you’re an Old Money/Legacy family, the opportunities are at every corner (ie: “character” awards, selection to represent the school, Homecoming Court...that sort of thing). If you’re military, a corporate transplant or Asian, the school will happily take your tuition money and take credit for the academic success of your children, but your students will not be recognized at Awards ceremonies or by their peers. It’s a small school in a small town where “who” your family is still matters.

St. James School

• Private School
• Montgomery, AL
• PK, K-12
• 174

Parent: We adore Saint James! Our children are getting the BEST education. We love that they educate the whole child (academically, socially, emotionally) and provide so many enrichment opportunities for them to experience at such a young age each week (art, music, library, technology, science lab). All of these things lay the foundation for their future and we are positive they will be prepared for college!

Trinity Presbyterian School

• Private School
• Montgomery, AL
• PK, K-12
• 89

Senior: Great School! Small school environment with plenty of great teachers! Christian teaching and a very close group of students. Almost everyone is involved in extracurricular activities and amazing academics. Plenty of AP classes to take advantage of and will be prepared for college if properly taken advantage of. Great college counselors to help you make a college decisions, apply for scholarships, and prepare for interviews. Students are constantly pushed academically, spiritually, and physically. They will grow into men and women ready to take on the world if they properly utilize the opportunities Trinity gives them. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School

• Private School
• Montgomery, AL
• PK, K-12
• 52

Parent: My daughter attended Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School from 9th grade and graduated May 2018. All years in her attendance, Montgomery Catholic has been outstanding. From the faculty and staff to college prep classes to sports. The school is designed to prepare the students for the future and get them ready for a professional career. This school’s program provides tutoring for all classes daily for any student that is in need. As college is very important to most individuals, Catholic gives each student exactly what he or she needs as they venture out into the world and become more responsible adults. They provide a relaxed and welcoming environment for all. I would absolutely recommend Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School to anyone interested in providing their student with top of the line education!!

Eastwood Christian School

• Private School
• Montgomery, AL
• K-12
• 21

Senior: Eastwood Christian School is a classic learning school that teaches children to love learning. All of the teachers are well rounded and are very involved in all the school projects and groups. The kids at Eastwood learn to be very inviting to anyone who joins and the teachers are very helpful to anyone who has questions. Eastwood is my top school choice out of any of the schools in Montgomery and as a kid who went from homeschool to highschool, I can say that although the change was a big one, the change was a great one.

Alabama Christian Academy

• Private School
• Montgomery, AL
• PK, K-12
• 96

Senior: I have attended Alabama Christian Academy for fourteen years now, and I can honestly say it's been pretty great! Of course there have been hard times, but that comes with life. Overall the atmosphere is pretty nice. I've enjoyed the school spirit most of our students have and the drive to succeed. Our teachers are also super helpful, because they are willing to work with you to make sure you can perform to the best of your ability in their class. The only thing I would want to change is some people's attitude toward administration. Yes, they can be annoying with rules, but they do it for a reason, and they just want what is best for us.

Edgewood Academy

• Private School
• Elmore, AL
• PK, K-12
• 13

High School Senior: I have been at Edgewood since midway through my fifth grade year, and in five months I will be graduating. I cheer, play softball, and volleyball and what I love most about athletics at Edgewood is that we all create a bond that is greater than "team". It is like family in every sport, and with it being such a small school, most everyone plays at least one sport. Edgewood is known for its championships, but if it was not for the relationship all of the players have, we would not be so successful. In the classroom everyone works just as hard to make their grades. We do not have to hesitate to ask others for help and our teachers make learning easy. I would choose this school again because I was welcomed into the family here in the middle of a school year and nothing has changed. All of the people are outgoing and loving and they genuinely care about others.

The children are growing strong spiritually and academically and have a wonderful foundation to face the world. And the college prepatory classes are spot on. These kids earn all kinds of scholarships for both academics and athletics. We are so blessed to be here

Parent: I only rate VBS a four because I think there is always room for improvement. VBS definitely provides a Christian education that prepares students for college. I have four children that went from kindergarten through high school. All four have degrees in different fields. They are now working in their careers as a doctor, financial assistant, engineer, and nurse. I thank God for the dedicated teachers that help prepare my children for life.

Senior: I made great friends here. The staff are very supportive and push you to do your best. The sports programs are growing. Our students are all very close and support each other at sporting events. The school lunches are overpriced, small portioned, and taste only fair at best. I would like to see those improve.
