Amado T. Reyes Elementary School was established in 1986, through the initiative of the Barangay Captain Prudencio H. Nobela, whose concern was the continuous education of the poor residents of the barangay. He wrote a request in April 1986 for a school building to Hon. Benjamin S. Abalos Sr., who was then the municipal-in-charge. The request was granted and the school building was constructed for two (2 ) months so it could be used for the opening of classes for School Year 1986-1987. It was inaugurated on September 12, 1986 and was named after Amado T. Reyes, one of Mandaluyong’s mayors.

In 1995, a strong typhoon struck the country which destroyed the extension that originally housed the school library, clinic, stock room, mini computer lab and principal's office. The area later became the school’s function hall.

Amado T. Reyes Elementary School has been in existence for 32 years now and through the years, it has spawned countless number of professionals whose success brings pride to the school through their productive involvement in the society. With the school's long years of public service being unselfishly catered to the learners, it is but fitting that a hymn shall be made in its honor to sing of its glory and achievement. On November 5, 2018, the ATRES Hymn was launched. It was written by one of its faculty members, Mr. Salvador E. Manansala I while its music was arranged by Mrs. Jean B. Castrence, a Public Schools District Supervisor. The making of the school hymn was initiated by Mr. Roderick R. Mendiola, the school head in May 2018 to November of the same year. On the day the ATRES Hymn was launched, the community also welcomed its newly appointed Teacher-in-Charge, Mr. Joseph V. Alegre.
