There are 17 public schools in the Elmore County system with approximately 11,200 students——five elementary, one intermediate, five middle schools, four high schools, one virtual school, and one technical center. The Elmore County Public School System consists of five school communities; Eclectic, Holtville, Millbrook, Redland, and Wetumpka. Each community has the grade composition of kindergarten through 12th grade.
The philosophy of this school system is: “Each student is seen as a unique person who possesses certain potential, needs, aspirations, and interests. As each student is different, the purpose of education is to provide appropriate experiences in school, which develop maximum achievement so each individual will become a useful and productive member of society.” Elmore County Schools have a Smartboard learning tool in each classroom.
