Summary

Snow Hill High in Snow Hill, MD, is a small, rural high school serving 368 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the top-ranked Worcester County Public Schools district. The school stands out for its exceptional English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 70.9% of students meeting standards in the 2025-2026 school year—well above the state average of 51.7% and comparable to nearby Stephen Decatur High (71.7%). This strength contrasts sharply with schools in neighboring districts, such as Wicomico High (32.8%) and Washington Academy and High School (31.7%), highlighting Snow Hill’s strong literacy instruction.

While Snow Hill excels in ELA, math proficiency remains a challenge, with only 25.9% of students proficient in Algebra I—slightly below the district average of 48.8% but on par with the state average. The school boasts a high graduation rate of 94.1% and has dramatically reduced chronic absenteeism from 32.7% in 2021-2022 to just 14.7% in 2024-2025, far lower than many regional peers like Parkside High (30.2%) and James M. Bennett High (31.3%). This improvement reflects a strong school culture that keeps students engaged and attending.

Snow Hill High invests heavily in its students, with per-pupil spending of $30,738 in 2023-2024—significantly more than Stephen Decatur High ($19,242) or James M. Bennett High ($17,555). This funding supports a low student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1, likely contributing to smaller class sizes and individualized attention. Overall, Snow Hill High is a standout in a region where many schools struggle, offering a stable, high-performing environment with a focus on literacy and attendance, though math improvement remains a key area for growth.
