Summary

Snow Hill Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Ooltewah, Tennessee, serving 582 students as part of Hamilton County Schools. The school currently ranks 441st out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (57th percentile) and holds a 3-star rating — a solid mid-tier standing, though below several of its immediate neighbors in one of the region's most competitive elementary clusters. Snow Hill's math (48.9%) and English language arts (45.6%) proficiency rates both exceed district and state averages, while its science proficiency (44.4%) now trails both.

There are real bright spots for parents to consider. Snow Hill's chronic absenteeism rate dropped from 22.8% in 2023–2024 to just 8.1% in 2024–2025 — the lowest among all nearby schools, including Ooltewah Elementary School (9.7%) and Allen Elementary School (12.3%) — and less than half the district rate of 17.1%. Early-grade literacy is a particular strength: 3rd grade ELA proficiency sits at 53.5%, well above the state's 44.9%. Math runs above or near state averages in every grade level. That said, nearby Wallace A. Smith Elementary School posts significantly higher proficiency across all subjects (66.8% math, 67.9% ELA, 68.6% science), highlighting the competitive gap.

The challenges are clear too. Science has declined from 52.6% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 44.4% today, and upper-grade ELA erodes by 5th grade (40.4% vs. state 42.7%). Subgroup data shows widening equity gaps, with female students slipping from the 76th to 46th percentile over two years, while special education students improved to the 40th percentile. Per-student spending has risen 48% in four years to $17,005, yet rankings have declined from the 70th percentile in 2022–2023. With low absenteeism, a strong early-grade foundation, and high investment, Snow Hill has the pieces to reverse course — the next few years will tell whether it can stabilize science and carry literacy gains through upper elementary.
