About the School

HISTORY OF PIKEVILLE ELEMENTARY

Pikeville Elementary School (PreK-5), founded in 1950, is the oldest and largest of the three elementary schools in Bledsoe County Tennessee. Student enrollment this year is averaging 450 students. We are committed to the use of technology and telecommunications in the classroom. Students and teachers make extensive use of the Internet and World Wide Web by active participation in e-mail and keypal connections and innovative student projects.

Pikeville Elementary is now a new facility situated on State Route 30 East in Pikeville, Tennessee. The school year 2003-2004 marked a new beginning for both the student body and school personnel, after much anticipation with diligence and cooperation from the community volunteers, faculty and staff the transition was completed from the old campus to our new secure campus in just three days and we were prepared to open the school on time.
