Monteagle is a great school, my kids went there and now my Grandkids go. I'm pleased at how well they are doing. The Teachers really care about the kids, and do a great job at keeping the kids interested in learning. Keep it up Monteagle!!!!!

Monteagle Elementary is an amazing school. The teachers try hard to encourage the students to learn. If you will just do your work and listen to the teachers, you will learn a whole lot.

I attended Monteagle school my children attended Monteagle School and by the grace of God my grandchildren will attend Monteagle. This school is by far one of the best schools in the state of Tennessee (and maybe the whole southern part of the United States). The students who go to this school do great in high school and also in college, the teachers are wonderful and CARE about the children they teach.

I was a student at Monteagle and i have to say this school is terrible,my mother didn't like that school at all, she tried her best to get me out of there and I'm so happy she did.The faculty are very disrespectful to the students, just because they are adults doesn't mean they are better than the students, but they think they are. They think they have total control of you, they act like they're your parents, I mean this in a bad way. There are many more huge flaws that Monteagle has but i would probably run out of room if I put all of the stuff. I would advise you to find a better school than this one.

I have never seen more well rounded kids come out of a school.

Monteagle Elementary School is 'top notch' in my opinion. I filled in for a teacher who was on a two month medical leave of absence. The class was academically on the appropriate level when I came into the picture. As a veteran teacher of 15+ years, I was very impressed with Monteagle Elementary as a whole.
