History of Algood School
Algood School was established in 1892 as a primary school serving the town of Algood. In 1902 the school was moved to 288 East Main Street. The high school program was discontinued in 1966, and the school encompassed grades K-9 until 1997. From 1997 until the spring of 2001, the school served approximately 400 students in grades K-6.
In the fall of 2001, the new K-8 Algood School on Dry Valley Road was completed. The new school serves over 1100 students in grades K-8. Grades K-3 are self-contained, and grades 4-8 are departmentalized.
