Summary

Red Bank Elementary School in Chattanooga, TN, serves 616 students in grades PK-5 as part of Hamilton County Schools. The school currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks in the 26th percentile of Tennessee elementary schools, with proficiency rates below district and state averages in math (29.2% vs. 40% district / 43% state), ELA (32.1% vs. 38.3% / 40.6%), and science (40.2% vs. 46.6% / 46.9%). This marks a decline from 2020-2021, when Red Bank ranked in the 56th percentile with a 3-star rating.

There are several encouraging trends worth noting. Chronic absenteeism has fallen dramatically from roughly 26% to 16.3% — now below both district (17.1%) and state (18.3%) averages. Math proficiency rises steadily by grade: 16.5% in 3rd grade, 31.3% in 4th, and 41% in 5th. Third-grade science proficiency (45.1%) actually exceeds district and state averages. Special education students have shown particularly strong improvement, climbing from the 2nd percentile to the 42nd percentile over the past few years.

At the same time, challenges remain. Students from low-income households and English language learners continue to score well below the school's overall average, and 3rd-grade math is a clear priority. Red Bank spends $18,050 per student — more than higher-performing neighbors like Nolan Elementary School ($15,617) and Thrasher Elementary School ($16,136) — suggesting that funding alone doesn't explain the performance gap. Compared to nearby schools, Red Bank trails Rivermont Elementary School, Alpine Crest Elementary School, and Lookout Valley Elementary School, while outperforming Hardy Elementary School and Tommie F. Brown Academy.

All 3 of my children have attended this School they are now 17,11,10 I have never had any issues with communication and involvement with the teachers at this school. They are very engaged and try really hard to keep the students engaged. Even during this pandemic the teachers and staff have been AMAZING! THANK YOU Close Quote

This is one of the worst schools in one of the worst districts I’ve ever seen. The only thing that I’m confident about is that my child will be safe from outside dangers. I would think seriously about moving into this area at all as Hamilton county school are horrid in general. The front office staff is rude and mean. The teachers aren’t willing to reason with the fact that communal supplies should be optional and up to the parent. My child cane out of kindergarten behind on reading and I’m not sure they will teach him so I am at home. Close Quote
