Alba-golden Elementary

Alba-Golden Elementary sits in the small, tight-knit community of Alba, a rural East Texas town near Lake Fork — one of the most beloved bass fishing lakes in the state — where the pace of life is slower and neighbors genuinely know each other. The school scores modestly on state measures, but families drawn to a small-town upbringing with close teacher-student relationships and a strong sense of community will find a lot to appreciate here. It's the kind of place where kids grow up with room to roam, and the school reflects that same unhurried, community-first character.
