Summary

Hancock County Elementary School in Sneedville, Tennessee, serves roughly 400 students in grades K–5 within the Hancock County Schools district, one of the state's lowest-ranked districts. The school itself is a clear bright spot within that district, ranking in the 28th percentile statewide (730th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools) while the district sits in the 9th percentile. In every subject for 2025–2026, the school outperformed its district: math proficiency was 31.7% versus 25.4% district-wide, English language arts hit 36.6% versus 30.9%, and science reached 37.1% versus 35.0%. That gap between school and district performance suggests school-level leadership and teaching are making a meaningful difference.

The school has made significant long-term progress, climbing from the 4th percentile in 2014–2015 to the 28th percentile today. Math proficiency has improved steadily each year from 24.8% in 2022–2023 to 31.7% in 2025–2026. ELA spiked above the state average in 2024–2025 at 41.2%, before settling at 36.6% the following year. However, the school still trails most nearby schools. It is ahead of Mooresburg Elementary in ELA and science, roughly comparable to Springdale Elementary overall, but well behind Russellville Elementary, which posts much higher proficiency rates in math, ELA, and science. Science is a relative strength, with 5th graders reaching 42.1% proficiency, close to the state average.

Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, falling from 23.9% in 2023–2024 to 15.7% in 2024–2025, now below the state average of 18.3%. Economically disadvantaged students rank in the 30th percentile, and special education students jumped from the 8th to the 26th percentile in a single year. Spending is moderate at $13,688 per student, less than several nearby schools. While the school has plateaued in the bottom third of the state, its steady math gains and attendance improvement suggest it is building a foundation for continued progress.
