Summary

Tiger Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Tunnel Hill, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 434 students. The school is part of the Catoosa County School District, which is ranked 61 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Tiger Creek Elementary School is part of the same school district as Boynton Elementary, Graysville Elementary, and the Ringgold schools, its academic performance lags behind these nearby schools. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Graysville Elementary had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (43.8% to 58.3%) and Mathematics (47.8% to 60%) compared to Tiger Creek. The nearby Whitfield County schools, such as Tunnel Hill Elementary and Cohutta Elementary, also outperformed Tiger Creek in many subject areas and grade levels.

The steady decline in Tiger Creek Elementary School's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the years is a concerning trend. The school's academic performance, as measured by the Milestones Assessment, has not shown significant improvement, and in some cases, has declined compared to the Catoosa County and Georgia state averages. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Tiger Creek Elementary School suggests that the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.
