Pelham Elementary School is where I went and I would not take anything in the world for my experiences, memories, and loving teachers. We enjoyed going to school and the teachers new you by name and your parents, cousins, uncles and in-laws. This is a generational school as past generations of graduates come back to this God fearing county with good people and friendly neighbors that know your name and want to help you become something more. I myself drive my children 40 + miles round trip to go this school and this school is that" good". Many past graduates work there and many more in the Grundy County region who left are coming back. Trump says as did Reagan "lets make America Great again". I say "Pelham has been great, is great and will continue to be great as long as community, family, friends, fellowship, and faith as well as the faithful come back and we all wok together to carry on the legacy of this school and community".

I have 3 children that attend this school and they've loved every minute of it. Their grades are wonderful and the teachers really seem to love the students. We're very rarely asked for money and I have yet so see or hear of any problem with bullying.

Wonderful caring staff .Principal is great with kids

My brothers first grade teacher was definitely the best teacher in the county and should be top ranked in the state. The school has a bad reputation for not being up to par with comparable schools but I must say my brother, while he attended there excelled in areas he is now struggling with in a top rated school in another state. He has a vocabulary equal to that of a high school student or even early college year student. Now that he has been attending a new school..which is higher ranked and rated to be "excellence in your child's learning" his grades have dropped, he has little teacher to student involvement and nearly failed this year. While Tracy Elementary may not be the best school, it definitely has some great teachers and with some minor improvements I feel that they could greatly improve the overall ranking they currently have. One of the biggest problem areas is just simply parent involvement, if the parent doesn't know what their child should be doing at home, and how they are doing in class they can't help their child improve. I think there should be regular parent teacher meetings and newsletters sent home to keep parents informed on everything happening in the school
