Summary:
Zip code 37415 in Chattanooga, TN is served by five schools in the Hamilton County Schools district: one high school (Red Bank High School), one middle school (Red Bank Middle School), and three elementary schools (Rivermont Elementary School, Alpine Crest Elementary School, and DuPont Elementary School), covering grades PK through 12. The district ranks 81st out of 141 Tennessee districts, but school performance varies widely — from a 4-star history at Alpine Crest to a 0-star rating at DuPont in recent years.
Alpine Crest is the strongest elementary performer, ranking at the 59th percentile with 3 stars and proficiency rates above district and state averages in math (46.5%), ELA (47.6%), and science (51.2%). Rivermont is the most improved school, jumping from the 34th to the 58th percentile, with science at 56.6% and a +16.9-point gain in math. DuPont is the biggest concern: it ranks at the 10th percentile and posts proficiency roughly half of state averages, yet spends the most per student ($19,249). The secondary schools also struggle — Red Bank Middle ranks at the 26th percentile and Red Bank High at the 28th, with very low math proficiency (15.7% at the middle school and 9.2% in Algebra I at the high school).
Despite low test scores, Red Bank High maintains a strong 95.7% graduation rate. Chronic absenteeism is much higher at the secondary level (27.4% at the high school and 26.1% at the middle school) compared to the elementary schools (12.5% to 16.4%), exceeding the state average of 18.3%. Red Bank Middle's Algebra I class is an outlier strength at 52% proficient versus 11.2% in general 8th-grade math. Elementary science is a bright spot, with both Alpine Crest and Rivermont beating state averages. Overall, this zip code offers a clear split: strong elementary options at Alpine Crest and Rivermont, a struggling DuPont, and secondary schools in need of support despite a high graduation rate.
