Parents looking at Scotts Hill Elementary will find a school with clear academic strengths, especially in STEM subjects. The most notable result is 8th grade science, where 90.6% of students score proficient or above—more than 46 points higher than the state average. Eighth grade math is also strong at 75% proficiency, compared to 38.3% statewide, and 5th grade science is well above district and state levels. Overall science performance (58.9% proficient) surpasses both the district and state, and math scores are slightly above average. The school also boasts a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.9%, less than half the state rate of 18.3%, which indicates strong attendance and family engagement. In the most recent state ranking, the school earned 3 out of 5 stars, placing 366th out of 1,019 schools (64th percentile) and showing improved momentum from the prior year.

However, the school is not uniformly strong. Seventh grade appears to be a challenging year, with scores in math, ELA, science, and social studies all falling below state averages. Social studies is the clearest overall weakness, sitting at 45.4% proficient versus 51.4% statewide; 7th grade social studies is particularly low at 31.7% compared to 56.0% statewide. ELA also shows inconsistency, with 3rd grade outperforming the state but 8th grade lagging at 25% proficiency. There are sharp grade-level swings—such as 4th grade math at 31.6% versus the state's 49.4%—so parents should look beyond the school's overall averages. While the school has no local peers in the ZIP code, its standout science and upper-grade math results, combined with low absenteeism, make it a solid choice, with targeted attention needed in 7th grade and social studies.
