Summary

Woodmore Elementary School is a public elementary school in Chattanooga, Tennessee, serving 349 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Hamilton County school district, which is ranked 87 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodmore Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Hamilton County and Tennessee averages on state assessments. In 2024-2025, only 15.1% of Woodmore students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 39.7% for Hamilton County and 42.2% for Tennessee. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.1% to 21.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Woodmore's student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, also perform poorly compared to state averages.

Woodmore Elementary's performance lags significantly behind most of the nearby schools in the Hamilton County district, such as East Lake Elementary, Clifton Hills Elementary, and East Side Elementary, which generally have higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. The school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $14,453 to $19,261 over the past few years, suggests that resources alone may not be the primary driver of student outcomes. Addressing the underlying challenges facing Woodmore Elementary will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve attendance, support struggling student subgroups, and implement effective instructional practices.
