Welcome to Amite Elementary School. We are proud of our school and our student's accomplishments. First and foremost, Amite Elementary is a children's school. The entire program is designed to provide achievement and success to every child.

The two major reasons parents send their child to any school is student safety and academic success. Amite Elementary School has a history of success in both of these areas. The school is located in a quiet neighborhood and, while parent participation is actively encouraged, access to the school is carefully controlled. Academically, the school has been recognized each of the past four years by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education for scholastic growth and academic achievement.

Amite Elementary has an outstanding faculty, over 65% of our teachers hold Master's degrees or above (the highest percentage in the parish) and every member of our faculty is fully certified. The spirit of cooperation and "can do" attitude provides an atmosphere where academic achievement flourishes.

The academic program focuses on basics but does not ignore current research or technology. Added to the basic program are the following:

 Two PC computer labs with 30 Windows XP computers in each.
