At Iaeger Elementary, we believe every child has the power to achieve greatness. Nestled in the heart of McDowell County, our school serves students in grades PreK through 5 with a commitment to academic excellence, strong character, and a nurturing environment.

Our school motto, "Do your best! Be the best!", echoes through every classroom and hallway. We are proud to carry the banner for Wildcat pride, striving each day to create a school culture rooted in respect, accountability, and growth.

Our Mission

At Iaeger Elementary School, we believe in building a school where students feel safe, challenged, and inspired every day. Our mission can be summed up in three powerful beliefs:

Expect the Best
We hold high expectations for all students and staff. We believe that when we expect excellence, we achieve it—together.
Warm Welcome
We are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for every student, family, and staff member who walks through our doors.
Heartfelt Lessons
At IES, students are truly the heart of our learning. Every lesson is designed to support their growth, spark curiosity, and build confidence.
