Summary

Hancock County Elementary is a public elementary school located in Sneedville, Tennessee, serving 398 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Hancock County School District, which is ranked 127 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hancock County Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low rankings and test scores that fall well below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (29.4%), English Language Arts (41.2%), and Science (27.8%) are significantly lower than the state averages of 42.2%, 38.9%, and 46.1%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for special education students, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Tennessee elementary schools in this subgroup. Additionally, Hancock County Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 25.1% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Hancock County Elementary to nearby schools in different districts, such as Whitesburg Elementary (Hamblen County) and Springdale Elementary (Claiborne County), the performance gap is significant, with these schools consistently outperforming Hancock County Elementary on state assessments and having higher rankings within their respective districts. The school's isolation from other higher-performing schools in the region highlights the need for the Hancock County School District to explore ways to collaborate with neighboring districts and share best practices to elevate the quality of education for all students in the area.
