ABC Elementary School is located at 3000 County Road 29 in Alberta, Alabama. The facility opened in 1999, replacing Alberta Elementary School (Formerly Alberta Junior High School). The school has one main building and two auxiliary buildings, the cafeteria and gym. Phase I of the school playground was completed in 2007. ABC Elementary school serves students in the Alberta, Boykin, and Catherine areas, hence the name ABC. The school colors are green and gold, and the school mascot is the panther. The student population of ABC Elementary averages between 170-200 students, and is predominately African-American. The school serves students in grades Pre-K through six. In addition to the general classroom teachers, ABC has a full time p.e. teacher, special needs teacher, reading coach, librarian, secretary, and aide. A nurse is available five days a week. The school also has part time counseling, speech, and gifted services. We are proud to say that all of the teachers and aides at ABC are Highly Qualified. ABC is a small, but academically thriving school. It was recently accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). The school is a part of ARI and AMSTI. ABC has met all of its AYP goals since the establishment of "No Child Left Behind," and has remained academically clear under the old accountability system (clear, caution, & alert) for over ten years (Go Panthers!). The school participates in 4-H, offers after-school tutoring and has a school choir. The 2008-2009 school year brought in the implementation of a weekly after-school art/drama class, a dance team, and a student council. THE PANTHERS ARE STRIVING TOWARDS EXCELLENCE IN LIFE THROUGH EDUCATION!
