Summary

Snow Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ooltewah, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 637 students. The school is part of the Hamilton County school district, which is ranked 87 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Snow Hill Elementary consistently performs above the Hamilton County and Tennessee state averages in proficiency rates for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd grade Mathematics, where it has consistently outperformed the district and state averages by a significant margin. Additionally, Snow Hill Elementary has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking over the past several years, moving from a rank of 269 out of 853 Tennessee elementary schools in 2013-2014 to a rank of 212 out of 1000 schools in 2021-2022.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Hamilton County district, Snow Hill Elementary generally outperforms its peers in academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and Science. However, the school has experienced relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.9% to 22.8% over the past few years, which is a concern as it can negatively impact student learning and achievement. The increase in per-student spending at Snow Hill Elementary, from $11,455 in 2021-2022 to $16,474 in 2023-2024, may have contributed to the school's academic improvements.
