Summary

Sneads Elementary School is a public school in the small, rural community of Sneads, FL, serving 574 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade as part of the Jackson district.

Sneads Elementary stands out as a high-performing school in a region where many nearby schools face significant challenges. In the most recent school year, its 3rd-grade Math proficiency rate of 86% far exceeded the district (68%) and state (66%) averages, and was a full 22 percentage points higher than the next best nearby school, Chattahoochee Elementary School. Its 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency of 70% also led the area, outpacing Gadsden Elementary Magnet School by 8 points. This academic success is even more notable given the school's efficiency: it spends just $9,757 per student, significantly less than other high-performing nearby schools like Gadsden Elementary Magnet ($23,871) and Blountstown Elementary School ($12,178).

Despite its strong foundation, Sneads Elementary is at a critical juncture. The school has a history of excellence, earning 4 or 5 stars for most of the past decade, but its state ranking has recently declined from the 96th percentile to the 75th. This drop coincides with a sharp rise in chronic absenteeism, which jumped from 15.4% in 2019-2020 to 43.1% in 2023-2024—a rate now higher than the state average. While the school remains a beacon of success compared to struggling neighbors like Greensboro Elementary School and Marianna K-8 School, reversing the absenteeism trend will be key to returning to its former 5-star status.
