About the School
Odenville Elementary School is an Alabama Reading Initiative and Title I school accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Alabama State Department of Education.
OES has an enrollment that is approaching 400 students and serves Pre-K through second grades. The average classroom has a 19-1 student to teacher ratio. The faculty and staff recognize that educating the whole child, through a bond partnership between the home, school, and community will enable the child to develop to his/her fullest potential intellectually, socially, emotionally, and culturally. We believe that learning the intended curriculum, mastering basics and offering educational challenges, is possible for all students. Odenville Elementary School wants to foster self esteem, self discipline, and good work habits. Children learn best in a positive environment. They should be treated with love and respect, and parents have the responsibility to work with the school to support good student behavior.
