Fountain City Elementary is a small public school serving kindergarten through fifth-grade students just steps from Broadway in Knoxville, Tennessee’s Fountain City community. The school was established in 1917. Students at Fountain City can get involved in several special programs including Gifted and Talented, the spelling bee, an art show, field day, safety patrol, family literacy night and walk-to-school day.
Fountain City Elementary is supported by an active Parent Teacher Organization that meets each month and organizes fundraisers, the annual carnival, teacher-appreciation meals and other school events. Students who live more than a mile away from the school are eligible to ride the bus to and from school each day. However, students living within a 1-mile radius are considered part of the parental responsibility zone and do not qualify for transportation services.
After fifth grade at Fountain City Elementary School, students are zoned to attend nearby Gresham Middle School where they will continue to immerse into their academic passions.
