Swiss Memorial Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Grundy County school district, located in Gruetli- Laager, TN with about 200 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
