Summary

Woodmore Elementary School in Chattanooga, TN, serves 346 students in grades PK–5 as part of Hamilton County Schools. The school currently ranks in the 10th percentile statewide (919th out of 1,019 schools), a significant drop from its 31st-percentile ranking in 2022–2023, yet still above its historical low point from a few years earlier.

Test scores are below district and state averages in all three main subjects. Math is the clearest weakness, with only 16.0% of students proficient, compared to 40.0% across the district and 43.0% statewide. English Language Arts sits at 19.7% proficiency, while science is a relative strength at 27.1% — the second-highest among nearby schools, behind only Barger Academy of Fine Arts (31.1%). That said, Barger, located just 1.3 miles away and with nearly identical spending, outperforms Woodmore by roughly 17 points in math, 8 points in ELA, and 4 points in science. On a positive note, Woodmore’s chronic absenteeism rate (15.2%) is better than both the district (17.1%) and state (18.3%) averages, and it has stayed below those benchmarks for four straight years.

Per-pupil spending has risen sharply to about $21,000, among the highest in the comparison group, yet outcomes remain modest. Math proficiency has collapsed by roughly 17 percentage points since 2022–2023, dropping from 33.6% to 16.0%, which appears to be the main driver of the school’s recent ranking slide. Science proficiency has been more stable, and upper-grade ELA scores show a positive progression — from 11.4% in 3rd grade to 26.3% in 5th grade. While the school serves a high-need population, its strong attendance and competitive funding suggest there is a foundation to build on, especially by learning from the approaches of better-performing nearby schools like East Lake Elementary and Barger.
