I don't know where the great reviews for this school come from. The security is lacking, the principal is inflexible and long winded, some of the teachers are two faced, and the school is very old and under staffed. I do not wish to go into detail about the exact security that is lacking about this school but needless to say, it has been brought to the principal's attention and nothing has been done. Say what you want about my opinion of the principal and teachers, but security isn't a subjective thing. Either they have it or they don't. Snowhill doesn't. As far as the staff, don't assume your first impression of them is in fact their true nature. As soon as you have a problem or issue that requires extra attention, you are now a liability and a irritant. And by problem or issue, I mean ANYTHING that requires you to visit the front office. Something as simple as getting a new lunch number or car rider number is viewed as petty and nagging. I would advise anyone that is planning on moving their child to this school not to make the mistake we did. We assumed the teachers and principal really cared and we came in with a pleasant attitude. That only enabled us to be taken advantage of.
We, as a family, absolutely love Snow Hill Elementary. We had to relocate and miss it terribly. The teachers were so nice, pricinpal was warm and welcoming, small #'s creates a great sense of community. We hope to be back soon!
This is the only school my son has ever attended, he has went thru prek and kindergarten here at Snowhill and I love it!! The transition of starting school at 4 yrs old was made to be so easy.... all the teachers and parents whom you see or pass by in the halls are so kind and helpful. My son loves school and I whole-heartedly believe that Snowhill has to be the best elementary school in Tennessee...... Amy Herron
Snow Hill is a great school with top notch teachers. My kids are very happy here and moved moved here from out of town. They are doing the same work. They love it here!
Snow Hill is one of the best schools i have ever attended! All of the teachers are wonderful and very kind! I miss the school very much and i wish it goes all the way up to 8th grade instead of 5th. Snow Hill is a very well rounded school and it has barely any flaws. former student: Kristin Pruett
Snow Hill is the best school I had ever went to. I went there 1-5 grades and that school is the coolest ever! Mrs.Woods is the greatest pricipal that I ever had met. I didnt want to leave that school!

Snow Hill School is a wonderful school. The teachers are great and the principal is absolutely wonderful. Mrs. Woods is the most caring principal I have ever came across. I would not want my children to attend any other school.
Great school, great people, great kids, great teachers and principal.
