All four of Gardendale's public schools consistently rank at the top academically in the Jefferson County School System. In 1996, the Mayor and Council created the Gardendale Schools Support Committee made up of city officials, community leaders and parents. This committee gives a community voice to all four schools to ensure a bright future for our children.

In addition, each school boast very active PTAs where combined volunteer hours number in the thousands each semester. There are two private grade schools in Gardendale and several private pre-schools.
