Summary:
The city of Sneedville, Tennessee is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary to high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the schools in this area generally struggle with low academic performance, a few standout schools and insights emerge from the data.
Hancock High School is the largest school in the area with 485 students, but it has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Tennessee high schools over the past 3 years and has significantly below-average test scores compared to the state. In contrast, Clinch School, an alternative school, has a more diverse student population and mixed academic performance, with some subjects and grade levels exceeding district and state averages.
Across the schools in Hancock County and Hawkins County, test scores are generally below state averages, and the student populations are predominantly white, raising concerns about educational equity. However, Clinch School's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 may be a contributing factor to its more diverse performance, suggesting that targeted interventions and support could help improve academic outcomes in the Sneedville area.
