Snow Hill High

Q: Is Snow Hill High a good school?

Snow Hill High ranks 66 th of 146 Maryland high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Snow Hill High is a public high school serving 348 students in grades 9-12 in Snow Hill, Maryland, which is part of the Worcester County Public Schools district. While the school generally outperforms the state average in English Language Arts, its Mathematics performance lags behind both the district and state averages. Additionally, Snow Hill High has a significantly higher percentage of White students compared to nearby schools, such as Pocomoke High and James M. Bennett High.

One of the key strengths of Snow Hill High is its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.3 to 10.8 over the past three school years, which is lower than nearby schools like Stephen Decatur High and Parkside High. However, the school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly over the past several years, from 27th out of 32 Maryland high schools in 2020-2021 to 15th out of 233 in 2015-2016.

Another area of concern is the school's higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.1% to 55.17% over the past three school years, which is higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, Snow Hill High's performance for specific student subgroups, such as male students and White students, is lower than the overall school performance, suggesting a need to address equity and ensure all students are receiving the support they need to succeed.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
